 Bell’s original analysis (1964, 1971) tacitly assumed that the complete state \(\lambda\) is sampled from the same probability distribution \(\rho\), no matter what choice of experiment is made, and that, for this reason, the subset of experiments corresponding to any given choice of settings is a fair sample of the distribution of \(\lambda\). Clauser and Horne (1974, fn. 13) made this assumption explicit. At the end of Bell (1976), in which Bell provides an exposition of a Bell-type theorem, we find a remark regarding the independence of \(\lambda\) and the experimental settings.
