	For decades Bohm's interpretation was largely absent from textbooks and teaching, and it remains a minority position. Critics judge it superfluous, since it makes no distinct predictions, and object to its non-locality and its privileged particle positions. Its defenders — and the critical tradition documented on this wiki — regard the neglect as revealing: a self-consistent, empirically adequate alternative was set aside less on evidence than on the authority of a proof that turned out to be flawed, and against a background in which its author had been made professionally untouchable.

Bohm's causal tradition connects directly to [[Louis de Broglie]] and to [[Jean Pierre Vigier]], who developed a stochastic version of the same programme.
