Abstract
This Letter looks at the consequences of so-called 'superstrong nonlocal correlations', which are hypothetical violations of Bell/CHSH inequalities that are stronger than quantum mechanics allows, yet weak enough to prohibit faster-than-light communication. It is shown that the existence of maximally superstrong correlated bits implies that all distributed computations can be performed with a trivial amount of communication, i.e. with one bit. If one believes that Nature does not allow such a computational 'free lunch', then the result in the Letter gives a reason why superstrong correlation are indeed not possible.
