We argue in this work that significant ambiguities exist with respect to the ([ital e],[ital e][prime][ital p]) reaction mechanism. This is based on an analysis of the systematic behavior with [ital Q][sup 2] and opening angle of new and existing ([ital e],[ital e][prime][ital p]) data. The analysis implies a consequent uncertainty in the interpretation of color transparency experiments that integrate over a large ([approx gt]50 MeV) missing energy range.
