Bohr/Einstein Debate Over Quantum Theory

Bohr on the other hand understood Einstein's unwillingness to accept probability as a solution to quantum theory. I'm leaning towards Einstein instead of Bohr, even though I thought Einstein's unwillingness to grasp Bohr's concept made him look a bit arrogant. Bohr's philosophy of quantum theory is more of the transitional phrase than the answer, whereas Einstein couldn't accept that quantum theory is not an absolute answer but various probably answers. He hoped that someone would find the solution to his answer. Although I think Einstein was being a bit arrogant with Bohr, I think he had a point for not wanting to accept it because it was based on probability being a possible answer. All in all the winner of the debate is uncertain, even though Bohr got Einstein to consider his quantum theory.
