Comment on 'Non-realism: deep thought or soft option?', by N. Gisin

Understand

It is briefly demonstrated that Gisin's so-called 'locality' assumption [arXiv:0901.4255] is in fact equivalent to the existence of a local deterministic model.

• Thus, despite Gisin's suggestions to the contrary, 'local realism' in the sense of Bell is built into his argument from the very beginning.
• His 'locality' assumption may more appropriately be labelled 'separability'.
• It is further noted that the increasingly popular term 'quantum nonlocality' is not only misleading, but tends to obscure the important distinction between no-signalling and separability.
