I can't copy and paste some pertinent paragraphs of the pdf scerir sent me, but from reading some of Kennedy's claims, he seem to be saying that although he doesn't dispute the validity and usefulness of tensor products in quantum mechanics, unlike other quantum axioms which ARE empirically based, tensor products are NOT empirically based. Perhaps your link says otherwise. AG
