Not consistent with what measurements?

"Only the math matters" doesn't make sense. This might come as
a shock, but physics is supposed to 'measure' 'reality'. Then
the measured magnitudes may end up in some equations, used to
calculate other aspects of...reality.
Like, you measure the volume of object X, you then put
'volume' and 'density' in a equation, and you get the weight of
object X.
Math is just a tool that deals with numbers. And numbers
without units have no physical meaning.

I of course am a rationalist and a realist. I don't know what
'local realism' is supposed to mean.
