Abstract

It is shown that the conclusion of the paper "Hidden assumptions in decoherence theory" (quant-ph/0001021) is the result of a misunderstanding of the concept of pointer states. It is argued that pointer states are selected by the interaction of quantum systems with the environment, and are not based on any measurement by a conscious observer.
