  "abstract": "In a recent paper (quant-ph/9906015), Deutsch claims to derive the \"probabilistic predictions of quantum theory\" from the \"non-probabilistic axioms of quantum theory\" and the \"non-probabilistic part of classical decision theory.\" We show that his derivation fails because it includes hidden probabilistic assumptions.",
