Saying that an experiment failed is not extremist.

There might have been excess heat, but he would never detect it.

That is what they say, and I am confident they know what they are doing. Unless they are lying to me, they got nothing.

They say he has nothing. I agree with their analysis.

Also, Piantelli has not been replicated, so there is no reason to believe his claims . . . yet. - Jed
