This paper discusses Andrich's (1989) criticisms of three points made by Divgi (1986). Some important details omitted in Divgi's earlier paper concerning the inconsistency of the unconditional estimator of Rasch difficulties are provided. In the cases of specific objectivity and person‐fit statistics, Andrich criticizes positions Divgi never took or meant to imply. The paper also answers some criticisms by Henning (1989).
