Summary
The performance of ensemble averages is neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition to avoid Bell’s inequality violations characteristic of nonergodic systems. Slight modifications of a local nonergodic logical model violating Bell’s inequality produce a stochastic model exactly fitting the quantum-mechanical correlation function. From these considerations is appears evident that the last experiments on the existence of local hidden variables are not conclusive.
