Unless we had free will, so that we could choose what questions we ask
without being predestined since the beginning of time to ask those
specific questions.  Like it or not, your objection boils down to "but
free will".

This is why I have that caveat.

The explanation is that the wave function represents our knowledge of
the thing - of the probabilities for what state it could have given
what has been observed - rather than the actual thing.  Those parts
that correspond to what it actually is can be said to be real, though
that may be slightly inaccurate depending on what version of "real" is
being used.
