   In classical calculations the exact correlation between any two vectors   
   is the cosine of the angle between the two vectors. In a Bell   
   experiment the angle (between the two detector settings) could be say 45   
   degrees leading to an expected classical correlation of -0.707. In a   
   large scale [hidden variables] computer simulation in 2017 based on one   
   million pairs of particles, I found the correlation to be   
   [-]0.499454164. So so why did I not obtain the larger correlation of   
   0.707 rather than the attenuated correlation of 0.5?   
      
   The attenuated correlation is caused by the quantised input values of +1   
   or -1 for the particle pairs orientations which are caused by the QM   
   nature of the particle measurements. Say the first particle pair had the   
   electron oriented along 5 degrees and the positron orient along 185   
   degrees. Then if Alice measures along her detector setting of zero   
   degrees, her measurement of the electron is exactly +1. But the exact   
   classical correlation would require an exact measurement or projection   
   of 5 degrees onto zero degrees. That is near 1.000 but not exactly so   
   and its exact value is a little less. Using the exact values in 2017   
   for a million particle pairs gave a correlation of 0.707258632 whereas   
   using the integer values had given 0.499454164. The exact values are   
   never known except in a simulation, so in the simulation trying to   
   reflect a real experiment by using integer measurements the correlation   
   is attenuated to 0.500.   
      
   The real experiments of 2015 however produce correlations significantly   
   greater than 0.5. That is the 'more' and it does look spooky. I have   
   my own answer which I have already written about here.
