It's confusing, however. In the quoted book chapter by Pan and Zeilinger they use "locality"/"nonloclity" in two different meanings. At least they are kind enough to label the one as "Einstein locality" (and this is the usual meaning of "locality" in the relativistic-QFT literature) and as "quantum non-locality" (which simply means that Bell's inequalities or other properties of local-hidden HV models are violated by QT via entanglement). I didn't "discount" anybody's argument. I only tried to clarify this confusion once more!PeterDonis said:No, the problem, as we have already discussed ad nauseam in previous threads, is that different sources in the literature use "locality" to mean different things. All of those things are perfectly well-defined; they're just different. Which means that in any discussion of this general topic, one needs to say which meaning of "locality" one is using. It does not mean you can discount someone else's arguments because they are using "locality" with one of the other meanings besides the one you prefer.
