My comment concerns Bell and the referenced paper under discussion.

An exact reading is required and the philosophical relationship Bell
was to utilize has been refuted. A cause to the measure as the hidden
statistical variation was to be given that which was invalid, a
measure's degree.

And to support the degree expected of any hidden variation in QM, Bell
applied a statistical test to, again, only detect a variation's
existence.

A fallacy was present. And so the number to be referred to as the
Bell's unequality criteria is unsupported in any fashion.
