[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] suggests: "The torrent of nonsense above even includes an absurd demand for me to try to repeat the experiments, as thought that would somehow correct a flawed paper."

Absurd logic on two counts: 1) It is not a "torrent of nonsense" to independently repeat experiments. That is the basis by which experimental results may be readily confirmed or disproved. 2) Nobody suggested that [[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] repeat the experiments by himself. It is well know that he doesn't have the facilities to do that. What I suggested was the Conservapedia try to locate sympathetic scientists who have the resources to run the experiments. These experiments are neither expensive nor difficult to reporduce. IT just takes time and a lab.

Will [[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] acknowledge that rerunning the experiment in an independent lab has legitmate merit?
