A list of 62 detached binaries having reliable data on the rotation of the line of apsides is considered. Theoretical estimates of the rate of apsidal motion are obtained. These estimates are compared with observational data. It is shown that cases in which the theoretical estimate exceeds the observed value are several times more frequent than cases in which the theoretical value is lower than the observed one. This discrepancy increases when systems with more reliable observational data are considered.
