I make no claim to explaining it.

I'm simply stating that individual "photons" or again, whatever it is/they are can be counted. Each has a quantifiable discrete energy level. I'm looking at it strictly from an engineering prospective. Photon multiplier tubes do work.

I make zero claim of any significant understanding of the actual physics of it. So perhaps I should simply shut up...

No, don't shut up. You're one of a FEW posters at FR that actually reads posts and responds intelligently!

"I'm looking at it strictly from an engineering prospective."

Ditto, engineer, hardware electronics and optics, 35 years.

The fact is there are some optical phenomena (like the F-P Interferometer, or Young's Double Slit experiment) that just can't be explained very well by using photons. And conversely, (as Einstein demonstrated with photocells in 1905) there are some effects that just can't be explained well by waves. That's why they call it the wave-particle duality.
