So can one account for the phenomenon (of polarization) in terms of the
interactions of spinning photons with the polarizer?
I think it is factoidal (i.e. an *apparent* fact), but what annoys me is
the way the question invites the student to use the "slit" model beyond
it's useful range, to make a mesh which may or may not catch the
hypothetical particles of light. The best students will know that they are
out on a limb. But I suppose this is more than mere regurgitation.
