Can a Bohmian be a Rovellian for all practical purposes?

Abstract
The aim of this article is to discuss the preferred basis problem in relational quantum mechanics (RQM). The issue is at the heart of quantum mechanics and we first show that the mathematical formalism of RQM is immune to recent critics concerning consistency. Moreover, we also analyse the notion of interaction in RQM and provide a For All Practical Purposes (FAPP) reading of RQM comparing it with Bohmian mechanics.
