That's true, Michael. However it's quite possible to prove that in the case of quantum mechanics, unpredictable does indeed mean indeterminate - it simply isn't the case that the predictions of quantum mechanics are consistent with an object
having a definite position and momentum (for example), not merely that we can never know it.
Subject to no 'action at a distance' violations of special relativity, anyway.
I should write up a talk I gave on Bell's Theorem a few years back.
