  Stapp's counterfactual argument for quantum nonlocality based upon a Hardy
entangled state is shown to be flawed. While he has correctly analyzed a
particular framework using the method of consistent histories, there are
alternative frameworks which do not support his argument. The framework
dependence of quantum counterfactual arguments, with analogs in classical
counterfactuals, vitiates the claim that nonlocal (superluminal) influences
exist in the quantum world. Instead it shows that counterfactual arguments are
of limited use for analyzing these questions.
