In reading about Bell tests I found this link:http://www.abc.net.au/science/features/quantum/, which has discussion of numerous loopholes in both theory and experimental design of Bell tests, which when combined, appear to suggest that "local realist" explanations of all Bell test violations should exist. That is, no single Bell test does not have at least one of the following seven loopholes, and since it only takes one loophole (1 of 7) to invalidate test results as suggesting, "local realism" does not exist, in fact, there are no Bell tests that disprove "local realism". Second part of thread, is anyone aware of yet additional "loopholes" in the published literature ?
Bell Test Loopholes (no single Bell test does not contain at least one loophole)
1. Fair sampling loophole
2. Subtraction of accidentials loophole
3. Failure of rotational invariance loophole
4. Synchronization loophole
5. Enhancement loophole
6. Double detection loophole
7. Locality-light cone interpretation loophole
