Thread: Stupid question about probability and Bell's inequalities

Everybody says that the experimental violation of Bell's inequalities validates quantum mechanics and denies local realism. But Bell's theorem is based on the standard formulas for correlations and expected values, which are very intuitive but still arbitrary.
Has anybody mentioned that local realism and violation of Bell's inequalities can be compatible if we change some rules for calculating proabilities and correlations?

the standard 'formulas' (even though they are not formulas) are far from arbitrary! Idon't know where you're getting this from.
