  We carry out a thought experiment in an imaginary world. Our world is both
local and realistic, yet it violates a Bell inequality more than does quantum
theory. This serves to debunk the myth that equates local realism with local
hidden variables in the simplest possible manner. Along the way, we reinterpret
the celebrated 1935 argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, and come to the
conclusion that they were right in their questioning the completeness of the
Copenhagen version of quantum theory, provided one believes in a
local-realistic universe. Throughout our journey, we strive to explain our
views from first principles, without expecting mathematical sophistication nor
specialized prior knowledge from the reader.
