Recently, it has been stated that single-world interpretations of quantum theory are logically inconsistent. The claim is derived from contradicting statements of agents in a setup combining two Wigners-friend experiments. Those statements stem from applying the measurement-update rule subjectively, i.e., only for the respective agents own measurement. We argue that the contradiction expresses the incompatibility of collapse and unitarity - resulting in different formal descriptions of a measurement - and does not allow to dismiss any specific interpretation of quantum theory.
