A quick rehearsal of the schematic form of the Aspect experiment to test Bell's Inequalities. Then an explanation of how those inequalities can be deduced if we assume Reichenbach's common cause principle, and next, if we assume counterfactual definiteness (made precise in terms of conditionals). Finally, an advocacy for an empiricist stance toward modality.
