Response to Comment on Non-representative Quantum Mechanical Weak Values by Ben-Israel and Vaidman

Abstract

Ben-Israel and Vaidman (Found Phys (2017). doi:10.1007/s10701-017-0071-x) have raised objections to my arguments that there are cases where a quantum mechanical weak value can be said not to represent the system to which it pertains. They are correct in pointing out that some of my conclusions were too general. However, for weak values of projection operators my conclusions still stand.
