0901.4255v2.pdf (application/pdf Object)

The arXiv essay above is given the following abstract:
The claim that the observation of a violation of a Bell inequality leads to an alleged alternative between nonlocality and non-realism is annoying because of the vagueness of the second term.
Yes, this is one of the fun things about modern physics: they can't even decide what "real" means. Talk about going back to your basics.
