  The Bohr and von Neumann views on the measurement process in quantum
mechanics have been interpreted for a long time in somewhat controversial
terms, often leading to misconceptions. On the basis of some textual analysis,
I would like to show that, contrary to a widespread opinion, their views should
be taken less inconsistent, and much closer to each other, than usually
thought. As a consequence, I claim that Bohr and von Neumann are conceptually
on the same side on the issue of the universality of quantum mechanics:
hopefully, this might contribute to a more accurate history of the measurement
problem in quantum mechanics.
