From TFA (or I guess that should be TFP):
"Strictly speaking, no Bell experiment can exclude the infinite number of conceivable local realist theories, because it is fundamentally impossible to prove when and where free random input bits and output values came into existence. Even so, our loophole-free Bell test opens the possibility to progressively bound such less conventional theories."
It's a bit strong to call it loophole-free then, isn't it? But "free-of-the-two-most-common-loopholes" is a lot less sexy. Nevertheless, cool work.
