As a result it is clear that the theorem is correct only if one requires that these hidden variables merely enlarge the set of observables employed at present in quantum mechanics. The theorem cannot be interpreted to mean that one cannot introduce such additional variables in order (1) to specify a state with classical completeness and (2) to define the usual observables as statistical parameters.Read More
