   That is incorrect! You fail to make an important distinction:   
     1) The entanglement occurs in the simple unitary time-evolution   
        of coupled quantum states.   
     2) Violation of Bell's equality (or spooky action at a distance)   
        only occurs if you believe in non-unitary projection operators   
        playing a role in measurements. (Basically the "collapse" of   
        the wave function.)   
      
   So you should not blindly group the 3 things you mention together.   
      
   If you avoid the assumption of wave function collapse (or other   
   disguises of non-unitary behavior) then you still *do* have   
   entanglement, but you do not have violation of Bell's inequality.
