 Solution

Combining the EPR criterion of reality with perfect predictive correlations and locality motivates pre-existing values for the locally selectable observables. The general local hidden-variable theory additionally assumes a complete shared variable $\lambda$ and conditional factorizationThe second condition is measurement independence. The reality criterion alone does not prove this factorization for arbitrary imperfect correlations: it motivates the local completion whose consequences are being tested.

A deterministic local hidden-variable model may be used without loss of generality by putting local random seeds into $\lambda$. For each $\lambda$, write its setting responses as $A,A^{\prime },B,B^{\prime }\in \{-1,1\}$. Integrating with the same setting-independent distribution and using the triangle inequality givesExactly one of $B-B^{\prime }$ and $B+B^{\prime }$ vanishes and the other has magnitude two. Hence the requested CHSH bound is two. No assumption about the spacelike quantum state enters this local-model derivation.
