Well our current model of superposition is what lets us do predictions on qubits that have turned out to be correct; just seeing "history" would not let our current quantum algorithms be developed. That's the beauty of scientific theories; good ones are simple but let us predict and test new ideas. Superposition is wildly successful in that sense.
