    "abstract": "In this paper, I try once again to cause some good-natured trouble. The issue\nremains, when will we ever stop burdening the taxpayer with conferences devoted\nto the quantum foundations? The suspicion is expressed that no end will be in\nsight until a means is found to reduce quantum theory to two or three\nstatements of crisp physical (rather than abstract, axiomatic) significance. In\nthis regard, no tool appears better calibrated for a direct assault than\nquantum information theory. Far from a strained application of the latest fad\nto a time-honored problem, this method holds promise precisely because a large\npart--but not all--of the structure of quantum theory has always concerned\ninformation. It is just that the physics community needs reminding.\n  This paper, though taking quant-ph/0106166 as its core, corrects one mistake\nand offers several observations beyond the previous version. In particular, I\nidentify one element of quantum mechanics that I would not label a subjective\nterm in the theory--it is the integer parameter D traditionally ascribed to a\nquantum system via its Hilbert-space dimension.",
