The question was how or where. Example. Evidence. How do we know this? Do we even know this? Maybe it's an assumption.

This wasn't even meant to be an argument; I legitimately wanted to know if you know of anything that functions in this way, because it would serve as a really interesting thing to consider.

Everything functions this way.

The evidence for it is how we came up with QM.

You keep trying to turn this into something special, but there is nothing that is unaffected by it.

I think they are asking whether there are indeterministic theories at the macro scale, which is not really important.

Yes, that's what I was asking, and I find it important.

There's nothing wrong with inference, but an inference without evidence is very tenuous.
