The face punch method, (not a personal attack just a rather crude if effective philisophical tool) aka if I repeatedly punch you in the face you have a hard time continuing to argue that my fist is not real, or at the very least real enough for practical purposes. Personal involvment makes the situation a lot less abstract.
Is there? How do you determine whether the machine doing the measurements is real?

Oh, I never argued that fist are not a good way to determine reality, but calling your fist a machine is cringe.
Technically the person being punched is the machine in this situation, the fist is the thing being measured.
