Correct.  Also, scientists don't tend to think in terms of what's "weird,"
that's a subjective and pointless term.  Either something is true, and
provable, or it isn't.  Weird doesn't enter into it.  If weird were a criterion
for ignoring something, then the entire area of quantum physics wouldn't exist.
