Remarks on Noncontextual Hidden Variables and Physical Measurements

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Kent [quant-ph/9906006] has constructed a hidden variable theory by taking the finite precision of physical measurements into account. But its claim to noncontextuality has been queried, and it shown here that there is a particularly simple way of seeing why it cannot be noncontextual.
