Recent notes criticizing and defending the use of phenomenological observations in psychology are criticized for failing to take into account the means through which observations can be made objective and public. Objectivity is attained through the use of objects or instruments of measurement, and the public nature of an event is a function of its replicability from laboratory to laboratory. Phenomenological observations are seen from this point of view to be necessarily subjective and private.
