thread_title: Uh?

message: The article states that " 'ghostly action at a distance' did in fact appear to be realised…." Does that mean that "in fact" the results were not realised, but only gave the appearance of being realised? Also, if "his results were not completely conclusive," then are they considered to be mistaken or wrong?Lestrade (talk) 22:09, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: A mere appearance and an incomplete conclusion

message: This article says: 
"Aspect's experiments were considered to provide overwhelming support to the thesis that Bell's inequalities are violated in its CHSH version. However, his results were not completely conclusive, since there were so-called loopholes that allowed for alternative explanations that comply with local realism. See local hidden variable theory."
When I look at the article on local hidden variable theory, I see this:
"... As a result of this it is now generally accepted that there can be no interpretations of quantum mechanics which use local hidden variables."
If the above statement in the local hidden variables article is  "generally accepted" as it says, the phrase in this article around "his results were not completely conclusive" seems a little strong / wrong.  
In fact, the statement might be revised to say something like "(although all scientific theories are subject to revision as we learn more), currently, it is generally accepted that spooky action at a distance is real, and is not caused by local hidden variables".
Can someone knowledgeable comment on this, and, if appropriate, make some adjustments in either or both articles?  There may also be other articles where this is appropriate, as well.
If something like my proposed language change is not appropriate, please  explain why!

message: The mention of the Heriot-Watt honoris causa doctorate does not seem very relevant and I'd remove it: someone with the standing of Aspect probably has been offered dozens of them (a quick search immediately finds half a dozen and is likely incomplete), so there is not much point in singling out one and from a not extremely prestigious university. 90.112.65.233 (talk) 18:18, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Honoris causa 

message: We need a pronunciation key for his whole name, since so many people (including all Swedish Nobel academics!) do not know about the basic French consonant-pronounced-before-vowel rule, in this case the 'n' before Aspect. Embarrassing to hear his name mispronounced over and over. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:51, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
