EPR was ultimately right. QM, as the understood was incomplete, for it
wasn't acknowledged that there as an infinity of simultaneously existing
states all of which persisted after measurement. It was assuming that
measurement somehow changed things and made states disappear and do so
faster than light which EPR authors couldn't swallow. Their intuition
proved correct, there are no FTL influences.
