By the way, it is important to remember that quantum mechanics does not predict individual outcomes for the EPR-Bohm experiments. Neither do we observe individual outcomes in the actual Bell-test experiments. What is observed in all such experiments are "coincident counts" between the outcomes A and B, observed by Alice and Bob at their respective remote stations. Theoretically, this amounts to measuring the
product, AB, of these outcomes, not A and B individually. Let me repeat this: What is observed in the experiments, by necessity, are the products, AB, in coincident counts. And since quantum mechanics does not predict individual outcomes either, it is absolutely scandalous to demand the predictions of individual outcomes from a local-realistic counterpart of quantum mechanics. A local-realistic theory is supposed to predict only that which is predicted by quantum mechanics and observed in the experiments. Therefore, Bell-believers have no right to demand an
iota more than what is predicted by quantum mechanics and observed in the experiments. To be sure, the outcomes A and B must be either +1 or -1, for that is indeed observed by Alice by herself and Bob by himself. And these outcomes must average out to zero, for that is also observed by both. And, of course, the average of the product AB must work out to be -a.b. But that is all that should be demanded from any local-realistic theory. Any other additional demand is unjustified, unphysical, irrational, and scandalous.
