Abstract
Hess and Philipp have constructed what, they claim, is a local hidden variables model reproducing the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. In this paper explicit expressions for the conditional probabilities for the outcomes of the measurements at the two detectors are calculated. These expressions provide a conclusive demonstration of the falsity of the authors' claim. The authors give two different accounts of their model. The published version omits a crucial detail. As a result it disagrees with quantum mechanics. It also violates signal locality. The unpublished version agrees with quantum mechanics. However, it violates the condition of parameter independence, as Myrvold has previously shown.
