Not being able to find a cause is treated as evidence that there is no such thing - even though it is assumed and useful in all non-QM science.
Actually, it's a bit more subtle than that. In QM realms, it's entirely meaningless to talk of such things as 'cause'. That it's useful in classical science is neither here nor there, not least because of the number of times QM has screwed our puny intuitions over.
I take it that you have some kind of ESP, by wich you have worked out what the unpunctuated part of KIR's post actually means. To me, it is gibberish - a classic case in which different added puncuations create competely different meanings.
Eg: 1. Spooky QM, (therefore no determinism) smells, ... like bullshit.
2. Spooky QM, therefore no, determinism smells, ... like bullshit.
