Bell pointed out that Bohm&amp;#x27;s theory, already known but ignored, is a counterexample to von Neumann&amp;#x27;s and others&amp;#x27; claims on impossibility of hidden variables. He analyzed how that is possible and found out: 1) von Neumann made some unreasonable assumptions in his analysis; 2) the fixation on hidden variables is missing the point; the real surprise is that locality, not theory with hidden variables, is inconsistent with quantum theory. That&amp;#x27;s quite a discovery. http://www.ijqf.org/wps/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Bricmont-... https://arxiv.org/pdf/1408.1826.pdf&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1408.1826/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
