The problem is neither. The problem is in the misinterpretation of "is" as a
logical connective and the misapplication of logic entailed by the failure
to recognize that, "A photon is a particle, not a wave, and a photon is a
wave, not a particle" is an abbreviation for "A photon is a particle"
explains some observations, "a photon is a wave" explains other
observations, what a photon is needs a better explanation.
