If they were testing QE in this experiment, then how in the hell could it be a "hypothetical" spooky action if that's what they were actually testing between two particles, or whatever they were testing. It's only hypothetical if it's modeled in a computer simulation or simulated in some other fashion....not actually put to the test. They just don't like the results they came out with to be something which could occur in nature because the great god Einstein says it's not possible. Or the fact he didn't like it and didn't really understand it.
That's what annoys me...scientists wanting to hold onto cherished notions even when experiments/observations fly in the face of those notions. It's alright saying "but it holds up under every other thing we've done and it works...blah blah blah", but when something comes up which says otherwise then they've got to find all the excuses to say it's not going to happen...even if they actually see it happening.
