Look at Isham's last eq. (6.2.8) on conditional probability. Let A be for transmitter and B represent receiver in quantum connection communication gedankenexperiment. Part of the global boundary conditions in region A that influence B is the range a of A. That range is an objective feature of the experimental arrangement, for example, whether there are two transmitter counters, one for each beam from calcite, or only one capturing each beam with almost 100% probability. In latter case, the nonlocal conditional probability is also identical to the local receiver probability because there is nothing else at A left to trace over. This is a vital point that Ramsay does not see. It leads him to falsely claim that one must compare data at both ends - yes in Aspect's experiment, no in mine.
