Einstein would tell you that "precision" doesn't prevent god from playing dice, although he didn't worship that god. Consider the current holy grail of physics, Quantum Gravity. Uncertainty still exists there given the attempt to discretize a field. It is ironic that it was Einstein who first made headway towards the concept of the discrete field with his photonic explanation of the Photoelectric Effect. If you require discrete, you must have uncertainty in position in a continuous field. You can't escape the uncertainty principle just like you can't escape getting hit in the head with Newton's apple. The Copenhagen interpretation is still live and well if a bit dented with the collapse of the wave function, and that view of Quantum Mechanics is independent of the validity of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, a principle which as strong if not stronger than Special Relativity.
