   Both very true points, and I don't have a strong answer to them.  I do wonder,   
   however, if there is a similar effect for massive particles.  After all,   
   if either of the massive particles is observed (interacts with a photon or   
   other particle) then the entanglement is broken/not observed.  In quantum   
   mechanics can we really say anything about what happens between interactions   
   (emission, absorbtion or scattering)?
