Yes. my grad degree in is physics. More simply, the point I wanted to make is this: Paradoxes in philosophy typically come from language traps that reflect a misunderstanding of the physical world; the uncertainty principle reflects a deep, fundamental way in which things actually exist, and is derived from first principles, as opposed to language or a presumed understanding of the world. The two couldn't be more different. Bunches of large equations are why the uncertainly principle is not all that accessible to those who aren't trained in physics or math, and why lay people get fed such garbage about it from people who don't really understand it themselves.
