Sure what he says may have a way to fit on paper with a few facts to help hold up all the guesswork... but will it happen in the real world? Reality and hypothesis do not always work together.

I really look forward to what happens to this under peer review once the data is published and challanged... and from what I have seen it will be challanged from many angles by many people. He had no idea what kind of mess this would be when his boss told him to do this research and publish these results in the media.
