(BTW classical path means distinct location and velocity of a particle in the sense described by Isaac Newton)
Perhaps you would accuse Werner Heisenberg, one of the founders of modern quantum theory, of being a new-age pseudoscientist.
BTW, I was a math major in college who took five semesters of physics, including quantum mechanics with multivariate calculus.
Based on your descriptions of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Bell's Theorem, I can surmise that YOU aren't getting your information from a physics textbook.
I will respond more to this later but am currently too busy with work, moving into a new apartment, and other fun stuff like that
