Subject: Probabilities in nature or imperfections in human measuring methods

I read your archives (HEISENBERG related matter), but still have no answer!!!

I'd like you to clarify a certain aspect of quantum mechanics.Are 
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and randomness in quantum mechanics truly  
LAWS or simply statements that we CANNOT KNOW the LAWS governing the actions 
and states of various particles and must rely on approximations.I have used 
quantum mechanics in my studies and recognize that they may approximate truly 
well many macro scale phenomena, but have much difficulty in accepting 
universal randomness and uncertainty. Of course, I understand the notion that 
measuring may alter the measured quantity, BUT WHY DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE 
QUANTITY ITSELF IS NOT DEFINED PHYSICALLY BY A SET AND FIXED VALUE, THAT SIMPLY 
EVADES MEASUREMENT... 
I have a feeling these sets of laws would be better off written down in pencil, 
rather than ink, if you get my drift!!!
By the way, your site is wonderful and truly a benefit for those curious about 
the world. Keep on with the good work!
