contents The view exists that Bell-tests would only be about local incompatibility of quantum observables and that quantum non-locality would be an unnecessary concept in physics. In this note, we emphasize that it is not incompatibility at the local level that is important for the violation of Bell-CHSH inequality, but incompatibility at the non-local level of the joint measurements. Hence, non-locality remains a necessary concept to properly interpret the outcomes of certain joint quantum measurements.
