Abstract

It is shown that correlations of dichotomic functions can not conform to results from Quantum Mechanics. Also, it is seen that the assumptions attendant to optical tests of Bell's Inequalities actually are consistent with classical physics so that in conclusion, Bell's Theorems do not preclude hidden variable interpretations of Quantum Mechanics.
