Looks like he has already punted for the day citing family obligations. The Americans are leaving Monday, I believe, so there may be tomorrow. Were he planning to be objective, I think he would have said, "either I made a mistake and it doesn't work, or it is not getting up to a high enough temperature." Maybe if he has the time to think about it today, he can overcome the embarrassment, and allow the test to continue tomorrow.
