For predetermined outcomes, the four products multiply to one:
The four desired signs are , whose product is minus one. Thus at least one winning condition must fail for every deterministic assignment. Uniform independent settings give success at most per assignment, and averaging over hidden assignments preserves the bound.
An observed rate near , with enough trials to exclude statistical fluctuation, therefore contradicts Eve's predetermined-local-outcome claim, provided the settings are independent of her devices and the devices cannot communicate during a run. It violates the local bound of the CHSH inequality while remaining consistent with the quantum optimum .
The observation is not by itself exact certification of a perfect two-qubit state. Maximal quantum CHSH correlations support CHSH self-testing only with the appropriate quantum/locality assumptions and up to local changes of representation and unused ancillary systems; a near-maximal finite data set requires a quantitative error analysis. An unrestricted communicating pair of black boxes can instead win every run, so the quantum bound is not a bound on arbitrary devices without these assumptions.
