But that in and of itself becomes the evidence that something else is at work, so you put a name on it and try (with mathematics) to explain it.
You don't have to test it again... you already had an answer. Now you are explaining the answer.
"Every time I shoot this particle at that paper, the chance of it going to left, or right of the slits, or going through both is 100%, because I cannot predict which slit it will choose with any accuracy on a sub atomic level for any one choice."

Quantum theory makes it impossible to predict the position and velocity of individual particles, but it makes astonishingly correct predictions about the Universe in general. It's bizarre, but it's correct. I love quantum theory because it battles your expectations and instincts at every turn. You have to turn off your intuition and just let your experiments guide you through understanding.
