| Abstract: | In a recent issue of this journal, P.E. Vermaas (2005]) claimsto have demonstrated that standard quantum mechanics is technologicallyinadequate in that it violates the ‘technical functionscondition’. We argue that this claim is false becausebased on a ‘narrow’ interpretation of this technicalfunctions condition that Vermaas can only accept on pain ofcontradiction. We also argue that if, in order to avoid thiscontradiction, the technical functions condition is interpreted‘widely’ rather than ‘narrowly’, thenVermaas, argument for his claim collapses. The conclusion isthat Vermaas' claim that standard quantum mechanics is technologicallyinadequate evaporates. - 1 Introduction
