In 2018, Daniela Frauchiger and Renato Renner published an article in Nature Communications entitled 'Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself.' The argument has been attacked as flawed from a variety of interpretational perspectives. I clarify the significance of the result as a sequence of actions and inferences by agents modeled as quantum systems evolving unitarily at all times. At no point does the argument appeal to a 'collapse' of the quantum state following a measurement.
