[QUOTE="PeterDonis, post: 6836334, member: 197831"] They're saying that the experiments in question are vulnerable to what they call the "Collider Loophole". As the term "loophole" is usually used in this context, it amounts to saying that if the claimed "loophole" is closed, the violations of the Bell inequalities will go away--which would imply that the predictions of QM would be violated. The authors of this paper claim that they are not disputing violation of the Bell inequalities, but only "the inference from violation of the Bell inequalities to AAD [action at a distance]". But later on, they say "The alternative is that the Bell correlations are an artifact of collider bias." But they don't actually present this as an "alternative" to their argument, but as [I]part of[/I] their argument. Which to me means that, whether the authors want to admit it or not, they are claiming that if the "collider loophole" is closed, the Bell inequality violations will have to go away (because the authors claim those violations are "an artifact of collider bias", which closing the "collider loophole" would remove). Which, again, would imply that the predictions of QM would be violated. As I said in the previous thread that you quoted, "loophole" claims like this have been common in the literature ever since experimental tests of Bell inequality violations were begun in the 1970s. And every single "loophole" claim has turned out to be wrong. My money is on this one being wrong too. [/QUOTE]
