TL;DR

This paper discusses whether quantum mechanics can be interpreted as a statistical theory, commenting on the PBR theorem and emphasizing the validity of the author's argument.

Contribution

It provides a critical perspective on the interpretation of quantum mechanics as a statistical theory, supporting the author's argument against the PBR theorem.

Findings

Supports the view that quantum mechanics can be considered statistical

Challenges the implications of the PBR theorem

Highlights the importance of interpretative debates in quantum physics

Abstract

This is a short manuscript which was initially submitted to Nature Physics as a comment to the PBR (Pusey, M. F., Barrett, J., Rudolph, T) paper just after its publication in 2012. The comment was not accepted. I however think that the argumentation is correct: one is free to judge!
