abstract = {In 1862, George Boole derived an inequality for variables
that represents a demarcation line between possible and
impossible experience. This inequality forms an important
milestone in the epistemology of probability theory and
probability measures. In 1985 Leggett and Garg derived a
physics related inequality, mathematically identical to
Boole’s, that according to them represents a demarcation
between macroscopic realism and quantum mechanics. We show
that a wide gulf separates the “sense impressions” and
corresponding data, as well as the postulates of macroscopic
realism, from the mathematical abstractions that are used to
derive the inequality of Leggett and Garg. If the gulf can
be bridged, one may indeed derive the said inequality, which
is then clearly a demarcation between possible and
impossible experience: it cannot be violated and is not
violated by quantum theory. This implies that the
Leggett-Garg inequality does not mean that the SQUID flux is
not there when nobody looks, as Leggett and Garg suggest,
but instead that the probability measures may not be what
Leggett and Garg have assumed them to be, when no data can
be secured that directly relate to them. We show that
similar considerations apply to other quantum
interpretation-puzzles such as two-slit experiments.},
