    "abstract": "Recently, several authors have criticized time-symmetrized quantum theory\noriginated by the work of Aharonov et al. (1964). The core of this criticism\nwas the proof, which appeared in various forms, showing that counterfactual\ninterpretation of time-symmetrized quantum theory cannot be reconciled with the\nstandard quantum theory. I argue here that the apparent contradiction appears\ndue to inappropriate usage of traditional time asymmetric approach to\ncounterfactuals, and that the contradiction disappears when the problem is\nanalyzed in terms of time-symmetric counterfactuals. I analyze various aspects\nof time-symmetry of quantum theory and defend the time-symmetrized formalism.",
