Abstract
In a recent reply to my criticisms (Found Phys 55:5, 2025), Carcassi, Oldofredi and Aidala admitted that their no-go result for psi-ontic models is based on the implicit assumption that all states are equally distinguishable, but insisted that this assumption is a part of the psi-ontic models defined by Harrigan and Spekkens, and thus their result is still valid. In this note, I refute their argument again.
