Every theory, including Newtonian, deterministic mechanics, is a human 
invention. I don't think it's a question of nature "bowing to" a human 
idea. I think it's a question about whether the human idea is a good 
description of how nature works. And, from what I know of the scientific 
method, the ONLY way we can determine whether the description is good or 
not is whether experiment supports the idea. I don't think there is 
anything nasty or repellent about statistics where we should say, "But 
this simply cannot be a good description of nature."
