Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph (PBR) have recently given a completely novelargument that restricts the class of possible models for quantum phenomena(arXiv:1111.3328). In these notes the assumptions used by PBR are considerablyweakened, to further restrict the class of possible models. The`factorisability' assumption used by PBR is replaced by a far weaker`compatibility' assumption for uncorrelated quantum subsystems which, moreover,does not require the assignation of separate underlying properties to eachsubsystem (i.e, reductionism). Further, it is shown that an assumption ofmeasurement independence may be dropped to obtain a related result having thesame experimental significance (at the expense of a weaker conceptualsignificance). The latter is a remarkable feature of the PBR approach, giventhat Bell inequalities, steering inequalities and Kochen-Specker theorems allrequire an assumption of this type.
