Bell explained that hidden variables are allowed as long as there
is supraluminal signaling [sometimes called non-locality].  von Neumann's
proof against hidden variables was in error.  Bell fought the 
misinterpretation
of his work from 1964 till the day he died.  Even in a gathering celebrating
his life work - his work was entirely mischaracterized.  Bohmian Mechanics
researchers were not among those invited to the celebration.  Another
slap in the face by establishment physics.
