Abstract
The question of whether or not the correlations predicted by quantum theory and actually observed in EPR-type experiments can be understood without assuming action at a distance is still controversial. The author's point of view, expressed by the title of this paper, is substantiated by the discussion of a specific example, and is defended against some recent criticism by H. P. Stapp.
