Sure, quantum mechanics is incomplete, but everything is incomplete. We should care about adequateness.

You are quite right, Wonder Woman. The focus on the incompleteness of QM in the 1935 paper (published version written by one of the co-authors) came as a surprise, shock, and disappointment to me. My point was that the quantum joint prediction is inapplicable to EPR scenarios. That point was totally lost and the debate has been derailed. Also not my intent was to claim that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is undermined by EPR. If the joint prediction is inapplicable then that is moot.
