Comments on Shimony's analysis

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/910573· OSTI ID:910573

Shimony's method of analysis does not distinguish adequately between a legitimate assumption of no faster-than-light action in one direction and the to-be-proved assertion of faster-than-light transfer of information in the opposite direction. The virtue is noted of replacing the logical framework based counterfactual concepts by one based on the concept of fixed past and open future.
