It's abstracted at

and undermines classic realism as well as the explanatory utility of
nonlocality.
"Here we show by both theory and experiment that a broad and rather
reasonable class of such non-local realistic theories is incompatible
with experimentally observable quantum correlations. In the
experiment, we measure previously untested correlations between two
entangled photons, and show that these correlations violate an
inequality proposed by Leggett for non-local realistic theories. Our
result suggests that giving up the concept of locality is not
sufficient to be consistent with quantum experiments, unless certain
intuitive features of realism are abandoned."
So, John... in the context of Radin's experiment, your point is?
