Abstract
Lo and Shimony have proposed a molecular test of local hidden-variables theories, which should eliminate a loophole arising in all tests dealing with photons. It is pointed out that the proposed correction for accidental coincidences invalidates the test. Conditions for the reliability of the experiment are stated.Keywords
