Not really sure what that means. Sounds like you're confusing philosophy, which is largely speculative, with science, which is set in the stone of observation. You can't really say with a straight face you're not impressed with quantum physics when the very medium you're using to say that is the electronic devices for which quantum mechanics is indispensable.

It's an inherent fact of the universe (regardless of any 'theories' you might have about it) that there is an exact limit on the amount of knowledge you can have on small scales, and this can be used to create random devices that are, pretty much by definition really, perfectly random.
