The aim of this paper is to show that “Measurement Independence”-type conditions are not sensible assumptions to require in the context of common cause explanations of the EPR correlations, and must thus be disposed of. I will argue, on the one hand, that “Measurement Independence” does not adequately express the requirement that EPR experimenters have free will, as it is usually claimed. On the other hand, I will suggest that actual measurement operations play a crucial causal role in any common cause account of EPR one may think of. This that such causal explanations of EPR of course means violate “Measurement Independence”.
