Does anyone have any opinions on this paper? [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1207.4913.pdf]

It is a proof of Bell's Inequality using counterfactual language. The idea is to explore links between counterfactual causal reasoning and quantum mechanics. Since these are both central topics on Less Wrong, I'm guessing there are people on this website who might be interested.

I don't have any background in Quantum Mechanics, so I cannot evaluate the paper myself, but I know two of the authors and have very high regard for their intelligence.

Seems solid to me. Not exactly surprising, but very clean.
