Abstract: In a recent paper, Deutsch [1] claims to derive the "probabilistic predictions of quantum theory" from the "non-probabilistic axioms of quantum theory" and the "on-probabilistic part of classical decision theory." We show that his derivation includes a crucial hidden assumption that vitiates the force of his argument. Furthermore, we point out that in classical decision theory a standard set of nonprobabilistic axioms is already sufficient to endow possible outcomes with a natural probability... (Update)
