  Measurements play a crucial role in doing physics: Their results provide the
basis on which we adopt or reject physical theories. In this note, we examine
the effect of subjecting measurements themselves to our experience. We require
that our contact with the world is empirically warranted. Therefore, we study
theories that satisfy the following assumption: Interactions are accounted for
so that they are empirically traceable, and observations necessarily go with
such an interaction with the observed system. Examining, with regard to these
assumptions, an abstract representation of measurements with tools from quantum
logic leads us to contextual theories. Contextuality becomes a means to render
interactions, thus also measurements, empirically tangible. The measurement
becomes problematic---also beyond quantum mechanics---if one tries to
commensurate the assumption of tangible interactions with the notion of a
spectator theory, i.e., with the idea that measurement results are read off
without effect. The problem, thus, presents itself as the collision of
different epistemological stances with repercussions beyond quantum mechanics.
