However, if our meanings are fundamentally mutually exclusive, we need to try to find a different way to approach the discussion.

Hm yeah, what would we actually disagree on with our definitions of truth though? What would you call the 50% "guess" that the coin comes up heads? I call it truth, is that truth in your book?

Given quantum mechanics,

There's a lot of reasons to believe that quantum mechanics isn't probabilistic, at least not in the way you think it is, but that's a story that's way too long.

However, you can just reformulate that as a state in the future where you can't use the present's information to predict! I mean, I know it looks like sophistry, but there's a fine difference between believing there are inherently mysterious things out there and believing that the mystery only resides in your own mind (or, in the case of QM, in this particular everett branch's mind)

And yes, this is literally a part of our universe being "unintelligible".Well, unintelligible if you believe that probability exists in the world and not in the mind!
