    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Bohmian mechanics assigns definite pre-measurement values to particle positions while remaining fully contextual about other observables, showing illegitimacy claims are too sweeping.

    The charge of 'sweeping illegitimacy claims' misconstrues the problem: critics argue selectivity about which observables are real indicates deeper conceptual issues, not overreach.

    Key Terms

    Conceptual issues(as used in philosophical critique)
    Problems with the basic ideas or definitions underlying a theory, rather than just surface-level disagreements.
    Legitimacy (in philosophical claims)(as used in evaluating philosophical arguments)
    Whether an argument or criticism is valid, justified, and based on sound reasoning.
    Ontology(Carnap argues this enterprise is based on a mistake)
    The philosophical discipline that tries to answer hard questions about what there really is.
    observables(gauge theory)
    Gauge-invariant quantities in a gauge theory
    selectivity(Cognitive or information-processing context distinguishing competitive selection from capacity-limited filtering)
