It is strange to think of a physical meaning to numbers only without dimensions.If wave-functions are not real then non-locality is not real too, I mean it will have no pratical application it will be only philosophical gibberish. It would mean that objective reality does not exist too, objetive reality would be a mathematical model purely platonical. But it is a interesting thought that reality could be a mathetical model, like a computer program, or just any logical set of rules.
But to say that the wave-function is not real is a good way to ignore some questions, because this way physicists doesn´t need to explain consciousness; as if it did not exist. And they wouldn´t need to explain objective reality too, since it would not exist; some physicists like Stephen Hawking would say that the job of physics is not to tell what is real and what is not, but to describe observed phenomena. I think some physicists say that the wave-function is not real just to run away of those problems. It will bring strange philosophical implications.
Yes, I've read the same thing.

And you....Must go to hell for lack of knowledge.....Lol
