Not really.  If the particles change identity between observations,
then that is what they do.

If that's what you're analogizing to, your analogy fails.  Spins of 0
and 90 degrees may differ, but both may be detected at 45 degrees off.
Further, the paper's assertion about local hidden variables does not
seem to hold - in other words, it appears to be disproving a strawman.
This unfortunately seems to happen a lot in quantum mechanics papers.
