I believe this is exactly what "hidden variables" means. Some unknown property that would be present in both particles before we measure it and constraint the possible outcomes. This is inconsistent with experiments, it was shown there is no such properties.

It's only inconsistent if you assume information can't travel faster than the speed of light, for which there is no basis besides gospel.

Science is no "gospel."

[kenmicklas]

How is it science? We literally have direct empirical evidence that suggests the contrary, but physicists do complicated mental gymnastics to come up with other explanations that fit their preconceived notions better.
