Abstract
Gibbins' philosophical considerations [Particles and Paradoxes: The Li mits of Quantum Logic (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, (1987)], based on Bell's work, are shown to require reexamination because ''no nlocality,'' as derived from Bell's theorem and the experimental viola tion of his inequality, is a hypothetical concept that if not physical ly relevant. In addition, some simple remarks are presented concerning the general problem of ''interpretation'' and the difficulties we enc ounter when rye try to understand microphysics with ordinary, everyday logic and (macroscopic) ''common sense''.
