>No matter what interpretation you use, the experimental measurement results are the same

Sorry, no. Bell experiments do produce different measurements for different interpretations thus ruling one of them true. As it stands now they seems to confirm Copenhagen for pretty much everyone.

Then I don't know which crackpot "interpretation" (that doesn't even agree with the experiments, unlike MWI etc) you are referring to, but you can rest assured that nothing in these experiments or condensed matter physics in general depend on it.

"Ensemble interpretations of quantum theory contend that the wave function describes an ensemble of identically prepared systems. They are thus in contrast to “orthodox” or “Copenhagen” interpretations, in which the wave function provides as complete a description as is possible of an individual system."

Bell experiments seems to almost everyone to rule it out, while myself unfortunately, as i really want to wholeheartedly jump on magical bandwagon of superposition and quantum computing, see gigantic holes in those experiments which allow all those other, compatible among themselves interpretations - local realism, pilot wave and ensemble - in and actually pretty much rule Copenhagen out.
