No. But, i.e., I stopped my watch, for few seconds.
I was young. And gullible.

The 'nonlocal' exchange of some conserved, 
gauge invariant quantity, has been established,
i.e. in the Bohm-Aharonov interference
(nonlocal quantum potential interference)
http://rugth30.phys.rug.nl/quantummechanics/ab.htm

But in PK the 'nonlocal' exchange would
involve quantities that seem to be (in PK) 
not conserved. Momentum, energy, information, 
etc.

So you need, imo, more than a point-to-point
'nonlocality'. You need a space-time which knows 
what happens in an entire fibre, and a fundamental 
level which is (?) a-temporal and a-spatial.
