If you confine a particle to go through a tiny slit, the more spread you will have in the momentum distribution. Take a photon, as it goes through the slit you will precisely where it is but you won't know the direction it is headed (i.e. it's instantaneous momentum vector)

I might be wrong, but I think thats the key point of our disagreement. Repeting experiments so that we can reconstruct known asymptotic stated may be inherently frequentists. While imagining paths from the particles point of view sounds very Bayesian to me.

Well I’m not sure about that, I try to keep my statements about QM independent of interpretation If I had to refine I would say: ‘there is no meaningful way to say a fundamental particle is in the state (x,p).’ Implying that it does not follow any trajectory

We may think that we are avoiding the philosophical part. But, are we really?
