The statistical suppression of quantum effects at macro-scales leaves the underlying ontological structure indeterminist, making repeatability epistemically misleading as evidence for determinism.

Quantum effects(as a physical limit preventing transistors from getting infinitely smaller)
Weird behaviors that happen at the atomic and subatomic scale where the normal rules of physics break down.
determinism(Discussion of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity)
A property of physical theories concerning whether the laws governing a system fully fix future (and past) states given present conditions; admits of degrees ('fall only a bit short')
epistemology(Contrasted with purely descriptive scientific inquiry)
A normative enterprise that tells us how we ought to reason from evidence and how we ought to justify our beliefs, as distinct from merely describing how we do reason or justify beliefs
repeatability(Grounded in memory of the recent past and anticipation of the near future; constitutes one of two agencies present in every experience.)
The property whereby what is experienced in the present can be immediately recalled and thereby anticipated to recur.
