    "abstract": "In a recent article under the above title (but without the question mark)\nHenry Stapp presented arguments which lead him to conclude that under suitable\nconditions ``the truth of a statement that refers only to phenomena confined to\nan earlier time\u0027\u0027 must ``depend on which measurement an experimenter freely\nchooses to perform at a later time.\u0027\u0027 I point out that the reasoning leading to\nthis conclusion relies on an essential ambiguity regarding the meaning of the\nexpression ``statement that refers only to phenomena confined to an earlier\ntime\u0027\u0027 when such a statement contains counterfactual conditionals. As a result\nthe argumentation does not justify the conclusion that there can be frames of\nreference in which future choices can affect present facts. But it does provide\nan instructive and interestingly different opportunity to illustrate a central\npoint of Bohr\u0027s reply to Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen.",
