Einstein Podolsky and Rosen put down the scientific and theoretical foundation for testing enganglement in Quantum Mechanics.
Treating it like just a horse race where Einstein was "wrong" is missing the contribution they made by designing the experiment (refined by Bell and tested by Aspect).
What is interesting is that Bohr was "correct" but his contribution is mostly a bunch of untestable philosophical nonsense.
The better contribution to science here is Einstein even though nature decided that his hunch was wrong.
And there's a lesson in here somewhere about human nature and how we value people who just make lucky guesses that pay out and we call people who change their mind after more information comes in "flip-floppers".
