Neither Einstein nor Langevin considered such results to be literally paradoxical: Einstein only called it "peculiar"

The more I read about it the more apparent it's still an unresolved paradox, while much of the dissent seems to trail off into doubletalk. So at a2k I occasionally breach the subject in the hope of further clarification, preferably in terms familiar to the Average Clod. Yet not much response
