A Critical Appraisal of Some Concepts Used in Neutrino Physics

We examine the value of certain concepts highly regarded in the past decade, that concern neutrino propagation, models for the leptonic mixing, interpretations of neutrinoless double beta dec\ ay and of SN1987A observations. We argue that it would useful to strengthen the role of the discussions among experts of neutrino physics, regarding the hypotheses underlying the theoretical investigations.
