Reply to Hofer-Szab\'o: the PBR theorem hasn't been saved
Abstract
Recently, in Found. Phys. 53: 64 (2023), it has been argued that there is no reality to the PBR theorem. In Found. Phys. 54: 36 (2024), Hofer-Szab\'o has commented that the argument is flawed and that PBR theorem remains in tact. Here we reply to Hofer-Szab\'o by showing that his counterargument does not hold up, concluding that the PBR theorem has been disproved.
