Actually, the "Copenhagen" interpretation of quantum mechanics
was not what was confirmed by the experiments mentioned in the
WuLi masters book.  What was confirmed was the calculational
apparatus of quantum mechanics.  What was disproved was the
existence of any strictly local, strictly causal theory.
There are alternate interpretations of quantum mechanics which
are as valid now as they were before.  
   I might mention I'm not particularly wedded to any of them,
including the Copenhagen interpretation.
