"As to the significance of the replication, it really depends on how well the test was performed, not the credentials of the tester. I suggest that be your method of evaluating the quality of the results."
This is not how I do my analysis. Anyone can write reports and fudge numbers intelligently. I have a long history of being very successful on Intrade of taking a bayesian approach to winning bets. The inflection point for me in the Rossi saga was the first independent report. The next was the acquisition by IH. Having Darden and Magnus release positive statements was a good sign as they are credible individuals. This claim is not an inflection point using my approach, though I will submit that it is a small, positive step forward.
