The passage around this formula
holds for any local realist theory, while quantum mechanics allows S up to 2 2.83 . Early experimental violations left the detection loophole (too many unmeasured particles to rule out a biased subsample) and the locality loophole (stations not separated fast and far enough to exclude a hidden signal) open to a committed skeptic.
