Abstract
I review a counterexample to the frequent claim that discrepancies among observers resulting from conventional quantum theory's inability to define ``measurement,'' such as those arising in the Wigner's Friend thought experiment, remain private and incommensurable. I consider the implications for a recent attempt to shield Relational Quantum Mechanics from such inconsistencies and conclude that it is not successful.
