"but it seems likely to me that the engineering-level maths has already been so successful in so many fields that it will not change radically."

Take the laser for example, what is the QM contribution.
The smart phone, what is the QM contribution.
The Apollo missions to the moon.
QM's can't even agree on how a polarizing filter operates, the polarizing filter is crucial to interpreting Bell tests in EPR experiments.

Perhaps you could explain how a polarizing filter works, without sending me off to some pop science website. More specifically can I ask you, your personal opinion on, whether the wave function collapses on interaction with a polarizer? Better yet explain the Maxwellian view, and your critique demonstrating how Maxwell is in error. I'm assuming you are familiar with Maxwell otherwise you would not be able to logically discount it as a competitor to QM
