Abstract
Albert and Loewer[1] have recently clarified their earlier objection t o the interactive interpretation presented in Healey[2]. They now char ge that this interpretation fails to solve a problem of which the meas urement problem is but a special case. The general problem is to recon cile quantum mechanics with the prima facie determinateness of such dy namical properties as the positions of macroscopic objects. In respons e I defend both the preeminent significance of determinate measurement outcomes and the claim that the models of Healey[3] go a long way tow ard securing their determinateness.
