Except there *are* spots in the interference pattern between two slits 
(if you place them properly) where no electron lands.

The electron isn't interfering with itself (or other electrons) in the 
same way a wave interferes with itself. And there's no medium to be waving.

You're looking at a pattern of events, seeing that its mathematical 
equation matches in some ways the mathematical equation of the height of 
a wave, and you're saying "hence, the phenomenon must be a wave." There 
are other things that also match the mathematical equation of a wave, 
and those aren't waves either.
