This logic is used for building a theory, which have then to be verified by
experiment. But it often happens that the theory is falsified by an
experimental result. It is the fate of all theory.

Now, saying that only a probalistic theory can describe Nature at the
quantum level, because every other attempt failed, is by itself a
fully-fledged theory, awaiting to be falsified.
