read the original abstract
This is a short text covering some topics on the Foundations of Quantum Theory and it includes some comments on the recent Nature article by D. Frauchiger and R. Renner. The so-called "paradox" is simply due to a misunderstanding on the appropriate way to apply the quantum mechanical rules. The text is meant to be accessible to non physicists and the math is kept to a minimum (just some Linear Algebra and extremely elementary Probability Theory).

A refined Frauchiger--Renner paradox based on strong contextuality
The authors derive a GHZ-FR paradox from strong contextuality that avoids post-selection and quantum reasoning by modeled observers, unlike the original FR paradox.
