- People on this group seem to keep claiming that Bell's inequality
- rules out hidden variables. They claim that non-locality is
- incompatible with hidden variables.

- Bell's inequality points out a false assumption in the EPR paper objections.
- As Bell has himself *EMPHATICALLY* pointed out in a paper I once read
- called (I think) "On the impossible pilot wave" his work does *NOT*
- rule out hidden variables. In fact, this paper is aimed at making the
- very point that people who claim that hidden variable are incompatible
- with non-locality are *WRONG*. Bell seems supportive of hidden variable
- theories and thinks these should be actually be taught in quantum
- physics courses along with the presently respected Bohr theory ...
- some hidden variable theories explain results as well (i.e. no more
- badly then the main quantum theory).
