Repeatability, scientific method, and probabilistic results

Is there a conflict with probabilistic models and the scientific
method?

Whereas a simple experiment allows for errors in the equipment and
allows for probabilistic correction, quantum physics imposes these
methods on the non-instrumantal portion of the experiment.

Repeatability is a tenet of the scientific method.
Some will argue that the quantum experiments are repeatable.
The type of repeatability is starkly different from earlier work.
The electron did not suffer in Millikan's work from this quantum
repeatability issue even though it is quantized. Likewise the spectrum
of atomic radiation does not suffer. Only the new quantum physics with
wavefunctions needs a new type of repeatability.

Where do you stand?
