Sarfatti replies: "The only reason it is falsely believed that commuting observables forbid signals is that it is falsely thought that no Heisenberg incompatibility exists for commuting observables. However, Heisenberg incompatibility can exist between commuting observables in presence of entanglement! Then the skeptics claim that it is impossible to manipulate this entanglement incompatibility of commuting observables- except I show that you can manipulate it with a specific counter example. In short any claim that commuting observables forbid communication is dead wrong - a false criterion for communication. It is then said that local unitary time evolutions forbid the shifting of probabilities at a dsitance. This too is wrong in presence of non-unitary measurement plus entanglement plus coherence - all these factors combine together to permit connection communication. Let experiment decide!"
