The validity and definitiveness of von Neumann's proof were also questioned by [[Hans Reichenbach]], and possibly in conversation though not in print by Albert Einstein. Reportedly, in a conversation circa 1938 with his assistants [[Peter Bergmann]] and [[Valentine Bargmann]], Einstein pulled von Neumann's book off his shelf, pointed to the same assumption critiqued by Hermann and Bell, and asked why one should believe in it.<ref>{{cite book|first=Hans |last=Reichenbach |author-link=Hans Reichenbach |title=Philosophic Foundations of Quantum Mechanics |year=1944 |publisher=University of California Press |page=14 |oclc=872622725}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Wick|first=David|chapter=Bell's Theorem |year=1995|title=The Infamous Boundary: Seven Decades of Heresy in Quantum Physics |publisher=Springer |___location=New York|doi=10.1007/978-1-4612-4030-3_11|isbn=978-0-387-94726-6 |page=286}}</ref> [[Simon B.
