Distinctions between elementary and composite particles within the context of the Feynman-Dyson type of S-matrix theory are considered. Requirements that the bare coupling constant for the interaction of a composite particle and its elementary constituents should vanish and that there should be no mass renormalization for a composite particle are exploited. Results corroborate Feynman's principle of impotence in distinguishing between elementary and composite particles.
