## Contribution

It provides a detailed rebuttal to criticisms of a quantum theory argument, clarifying its structure and defending its validity.

## Key findings

- Criticisms are based on misunderstandings of the original argument.
- The original argument's structure is clarified and defended.
- The criticisms do not constitute valid objections.

## Abstract

In this short note I reply to criticisms of an argument in my paper [1] that appear in comment [2]. I refer the reader to section 4 of [1] in which I described the scenario of a Gedankenexperiment on which is based the argument criticized in [2]. The authors of [2] raise one "main criticism" then go on to claim that the argument of [1] contains a series of problems. But their "main criticism" is not an objection to the argument and the problems are of their own making. In replying to what they call their main criticism I will take this opportunity to exhibit the structure of the argument and so make clear why this is not an objection to that argument.
