For curiosity's sake: Wouldn't something like quantum mechanics defy that argument?

Nope, see for instance good explanations in [1] and [2].
The TL;DR is that you can't actually get information out of a measurement of entangled quantum states placed at locations A and B without also transmitting classical information between A and B.
But good question!
