21. Note that the spectral filtering of one entangled photon also filters its twin photon.
22. To affirm that we violate Bell inequalities, we have to make the (reasonable) assumption that the other (not recorded) triple coincidences have the same behavior, and that all coincidence count rates depend only on the sum of the phases.
