When you think about it - why would CERN want to test Holmlid's device ?
Isn't it lose, lose, lose for them... if the test is successful? Hundreds of lucrative jobs could be lost. Prestige is a stake. Big science is at stake. Where is the silver lining for CERN?
Of course, the "science" alone should be the main concern of all scientists, but it seldom is.
