Following J.-Y.B\'eziau in his pioneer work on non-standard interpretations
of the traditional square of opposition, we have applied the abstract structure
of the square to study the relation of opposition between states in
superposition in orthodox quantum mechanics in \cite{are14}. Our conclusion was
that such states are \ita{contraries} (\ita{i.e.} both can be false, but both
cannot be true), contradicting previous analyzes that have led to different
results, such as those claiming that those states represent \ita{contradictory}
properties (\ita{i. e.} they must have opposite truth values). In this chapter
we bring the issue once again into the center of the stage, but now discussing
the metaphysical presuppositions which underlie each kind of analysis and which
lead to each kind of result, discussing in particular the idea that
superpositions represent potential contradictions. We shall argue that the
analysis according to which states in superposition are contrary rather than
contradictory is still more plausible
