The authors believe that much of the contradiction they hear about the Einstein Podoisky Rosen Paradox (EPR), can be framed into the diverse ways of using or misusing the principle of ``collapse,`` (a principle, which according to Wigner, is very attractive, but not very informative).

Description
The authors believe that much of the contradiction they hear about the Einstein Podoisky Rosen Paradox (EPR), can be framed into the diverse ways of using or misusing the principle of ``collapse,`` (a principle, which according to Wigner, is very attractive, but not very informative). To make their points, they will mainly use the model [Lamehi-Rachti, Mittig, Phys. Rev. D14 (1976)] of two free protons scattering in the well known state of singlet, ud-du = SS, according to the Pauli Principle. (An equivalent description can be done with the polarization of photons.) The authors ask the important question whether, on separation, the two fermions will remain in the state SS, where neither proton has a definite state and the whole two fermion system has exactly zero component in any direction.
