If the experimenter computes correlations between measurement outcomes of particle pairs for which both particles are detected, he or she is actually looking at a subsample of particle pairs, determined by interaction involving both measurement settings and the hidden variables carried in the particles. We correct a mistake in Pearle\u2019s formulas (a normalization error) and more importantly show that the model is simpler than first appears. We illustrate with visualizations of the model and with a small simulation experiment, with code in the statistical programming language R included in the paper.
