It's more than that, though. Just 'having an influence' on the measured process doesn't explain the bell inequality. Super-determinism basically requires that there is some common state from the big-bang which means that if I were to decide to e.g. seed the random number generator I'm using in an experiment with a description of what I had for breakfast that morning, the particles in that experiment (which could in principle come from far enough away they had no way of causally interacting with me or said breakfast) somehow 'know' that I had made that decision, what I had for breakfast, and the details of the random number generator and act accordingly. Absent some mechanism by which this might occur, it requires an incredibly complex kind of setup to the universe to create that result, one that has so many free variables it could explain almost any universe with any physics. |

Surprisingly, this idea makes many physicists very umcomfortable and they start to object to SD using philosophical arguments about "free will".
