A question on superposition:

The first question I have is this: Can we truly say that a particle is in a "superposition" rather than a definite position at any time? Isn't the superposition the totality of probabilities that an observable will be in a given state? If so, then each particle is only ever in a definite state and our problem is epistemic, and superposition refers only to the probability of finding X to be in a specific state. We could then claim that the particle is in a definite state, and superposition represents only our lack of knowledge as to what that state is.
