Well, I also somewhat share that opinion (though I wouldn't call it astral). There are simply some things that cannot be described by classical concepts. The most famous example is Schrödinger's cat. We can also recall the electron in an atom's orbit, which is actually a kind of probability cloud, representing the likelihood of finding the electron in a particular location upon measurement. And, of course, tunneling! Essentially, it's almost like teleportation; a particle can randomly end up in a place where, according to classical concepts, it couldn't possibly be. Naturally, such things cannot fail to shake determinism.
But! The article doesn't draw one conclusion that absolutely must be drawn if we don't accept the classical-mechanical interpretation of the experiment. And in that article, the author "refutes" it. Precisely, in quotation marks, "refutes" it, because he doesn't even know the theoretical basis to refute it. So, if we try to interpret this quantum mechanically, we will have to introduce "spooky action at a distance," as Einstein called it, meaning that one photon interacts with another over vast distances (at least 150 km, it seems, without any noticeable delay). More precisely, maybe it's not actually necessary, but the author of the article, and not only him, does exactly that; otherwise, the effect wouldn't have attracted people's attention at all.
Such "spooky action at a distance" looks so absurd in light of the existence of a simple, elementary classical interpretation through the law of conservation of spins... There's nothing to comment on.
