I'm inclined to agree with your premise, but your analogy implies that it's as a result of our pre-synchronisation that there's no FTL (faster than light) communication taking place. Entanglement is weirder than that though as Bell inequalities attest - it's as if I raised my flag at 11:59 and you did too despite the prior agreement.

I'm not sure if current physics has an explanation, but the last time I read around this, it seemed that the relativist position was that no FTL communication was occurring between particles because a transfer of information would require a slower than light communication between us so that we both knew what to measure. Or to pose it a different way - even if the electrons seem to communicate faster than light, technically we can't tell that it happened until later.
