Abstract It is explained on a physical basis how absence of contextuality allows
Bell inequalities to be violated, without bringing an implication on locality or realism.
Hereto we connect first to the local realistic theory Stochastic Electrodynamics,
and then put the argument more broadly. Thus even if Bell Inequality Violation is
demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt, it will have no say on local realism, because
absence of contextuality prevents the Bell inequalities to be derived from local realistic
models.
