I suspect that the quantum theoretic notion, that at some level 'reality' is just probabilities, is more a heuristic based on our own uncertainty. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says only that we cannot simultaneously measure a particle's position and velocity, not that that particle doesn't have a position and velocity. This might just be an epistemological boundary we are unable to cross.
