Hardy's Second Axiom is insufficiently general

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Hardy (quant-ph/0101012) conjectures in his Axiom 2 that K=K(N), and that in classical probability K=N, while in quantum mechanics K=N^2. We offer an example in classical probability for which K=NV, V the number of independent complete variables; with N=V this classical example satisfies the purported quantal relation K=N^2.
