Bell's theorem tells you that if some hidden variable is involved it has to be non-local. That's it. Period.
It doesn't tell you there are hidden variables involved or not. Whether light travels fast or not. Whether there's determinism or random chance involved. It's only an if clause, if you may; but a very important one, I'm not detracting from it. Please take time to understand that.
>These theories rely on nothing traveling faster than the speed of light.
There's a lot of phenomena that could be perceived as "faster than light" (i.e. a shadow's projection) and yet they aren't. Information should also not travel faster than light, that put an end to many entanglement paradoxes out there that seemed to imply faster than light travel from a first glance.
If a hidden variable is involved, there could be a not-yet-understood part of the system that allows for it to work in spite of this apparent non-locality.
Does the Bell theorem tell us that? No. Do I know the answer to that? No. Do you know the answer to that? No. No one knows. Hence why I wrote, yesterday,
>A deterministic process being behind it cannot be ruled out (yet?).
