Ok. So I'm doing a strawman... But you're not doing an argument from authority ?
So let's be clear. Bell's theorem is not an "old thing". I mean, what serious scientist argue something like that... (Yep, that's a No true Scotsman ;-) ) I've never encountered any argument in that direction. Of course some people argue against some of the derivations of Bell's theorem, and his test, but against the soundness of the theorem in itself ? For the record : "No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics."
Then people who challenge the consequences of Bell's Theorem, argue for Non Local Hidden Variables (http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9906036v1.pdf). But frankly, non locality is not at all in the actual consensus of quantum physicists. It would have huge consequences on special relativity.
So, again, if you want to argue that Non locality is true, welcome to a completely new world of physics. As of today, no one have any proof that non-locality is real. The scientific consensus is that No communication theorem is a much more credible solution to the EPR paradox. I mean of course some people say that proof of NCT are circular. But most only do because they think we can find a better proof of it.
How many serious scientists work on disproving the Non Communication Theorem ? John Cramer ? Some people in his lab ? That's mostly it. And as of today... they found nothing I am aware of.
And then what are your references ? A nature article, published in the vulgarization part of the review and non peer reviewed ? That short blog post that show very limited understanding of the problems with Quantum Entanglement ?
Anyway, if No Com Theorem is false, boy what a world, time traveling become possible, teleportation, several other sci-fi things. That would be great. But probably will never happen.
