I'm not sure that logical/abstract argument is the right way to progress on this.. seems like it really isn't abstract and must eventually be something that would need to be measured and compared to prediction in order to decide whether it's a good model/theory or not. (And we're not able to actually measure sensitively-enough to detect this level yet AFAIK) Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment has also been revisited with quite different conclusions that don't rule out substance-of-space too IIUC.

I think that this might be a topic that's worth staying mostly-undecided-about.. despite all the strong opinions around! The fields of QM have to exist within something right?
