Have We Been Interpreting Quantum Mechanics Wrong This Whole Time?

From the article:

Sheldon Goldstein, a professor of mathematics, physics and philosophy at Rutgers University and a supporter of pilot-wave theory, blames the “preposterous” neglect of the theory on “decades of indoctrination.” At this stage, Goldstein and several others noted, researchers risk their careers by questioning quantum orthodoxy.

Can someone from the physics community comment on this? How valid is the pilot-wave theory?
