But there could be non-local ones. The Bohm theory, which is perfectly consistent with standard QM, is fully deterministic.

The wavefunction is a nonlocal variable!

Important point. It is quite unfair to say "nya nya local hidden variable theories cannot replicate QM", when QM is itself radically non-local.

[lisper]

Yes, but it's not a hidden variable (at least not in a prepared system).
