  • Good point, somehow I completely missed the point you were trying to make about getting samples and analyzing them outside of the original laboratory. That would indeed be completely scientific.

    Somehow taking the samples out of the original laboratory didn’t cross my mind. What I understood was a team going over there to look at the samples. In that case I would be very weary of any possible manipulations, like with magicians’ tricks or such.

    I’m really having issues thinking straight these days with the stress I’ve been under and the stomach flu I just had. Sorry about that brainfart!


  • Sure, but that isn’t the scientific process. Typically a first team publishes what they did and the result they obtained, then others will try to replicate and improve on those results.

    What you describe is interesting, but more of a closed/proprietary approach. A team says they have something and invite others to take a look, and then the second team will need to make sure they aren’t being bamboozled somehow. But until the second team can actually recreate the entire situation, it isn’t very useful to them. They just get to be onlookers, and will remain sceptical that there is some bamboozling being done.
