predicts unequivocally that the vector mass is shifted and the width of the vector meson gets narrower in the close vicinity of the VM fixed point. However as measured by the lepton pairs that come from both direct pions and vector mesons in the system that evolves both in temperature and density, the width will be smeared while the strength will be cut down by a factor $\sim (a/2)^2$. Since the chiral restoration effect is operative only above the “flash temperature" [@BR:PR] $T_{flash}\sim 120$ MeV (and/or the “flash density" $n_{flash}\lsim
2 n_0$), the dileptons emitted carrying the imprint of chiral restoration – at which the $\rho\pi\pi$ coupling will be near zero due to the VM – will be highly diluted, if not totally swamped, by dileptons coming from near on-shell. Unless the probe pinpoints the kinematic regime above the flash points, it is difficult to imagine how chiral properties can be clearly sorted out.

In sum, our answer to the question posed above is the $negative$ at the present stage of experimental as well as theoretical development. A corollary to this is that the null result in the analyses of [@rapp] – that mundane strong hadronic interactions can more or
