Phys. Rev. A 59, 126–130 (1999)Nonlocality, counterfactuals, and quantum mechanicsReceived 10 October 1997; published in the issue dated January 1999 Stapp [Am. J. Phys. 65, 300 (1997)] has recently argued from a version of the Hardy-type experiments that quantum mechanics must be nonlocal, independent of any additional assumptions such as realism or hidden variables. I argue either that his conclusions do not follow from his assumptions or that his assumptions are not true of quantum mechanics and can be interpreted as assigning an unwarranted level of reality to the value of certain quantum attributes. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
