  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

Experimental observed violations of Bell inequalities might be due to some selection process which conspires to produce the non-classical correlation. Therefore it is important to carry out a careful analysis of the selection process involved in any test of Bell inequalities.
