Minor quibble. The point of the experiments is/was to TEST quantum 
mechanics, particularly given that the predictions were an affront to 
common sense.

As you say well, "something doesn't seem quite right" is a hallmark of 
common sense and intuition being confronted, and it is hard to shake 
such suspicions. But that's the point of experiment -- to let nature 
have the final word on how it really behaves, rather than how we THINK 
it should behave.
