Yes really.

When a boson like a light photon hits a photographic plate is has an effect precisely
because the photographic plate is not a boson, it's made of fermions like electrons neutrons
and protons. When two light photons hit the plate each has an effect on it, hence the
interference pattern. When two bosons like light photons hit each other the effect is zero.

OK, that I understand, I've even been known to do such things myself.
