  All contemporary phenomenological models of elastic hadronic scattering have
been based in principle on the assumption of optical theorem validity that has
been overtaken from optics. It will be shown that the given theorem which has
not been actually proved in particle physics cannot be applied to short-ranged
strong interactions. The analysis of corresponding collision experiments is to
be done under new basic assumptions. The actual progress in description of
hadronic collision processes might then exist only if the initial states are
specified on the basis of impact parameter values of colliding particles and
probability dependence on this parameter is established, without limiting
corresponding conclusion by optical theorem validity.
