24 Pais (1991), quoted p. 426. 'Could one not keep determinism by making it an object of belief? Must one necessarily elevate indeterminism to a principle?' (Bacciagaluppi and Valentini (2006), p. 477.)

25 Bohr (1963c), p. 91.

26 Bohr was partly to blame for the confusion, since on occasions he referred to his contribution during the general discussion as a 'report'. He did so, for example, in his lecture 'The Solvay Meetings and the Development of Quantum Physics', reprinted in Bohr (1963c).
