Two weeks is at the extreme of how long a person can survive without water. It is a shame they did not go for a month. This reminds me a little of some cold fusion experiments that are shut down after producing heat for a day, instead of letting them go for much longer, which would produce more convincing results far beyond chemistry.
It is possible that someone could learn techniques for reducing the need for water, to survive longer than the norm. How far this could go, I certainly don't know, and I don't know that anyone knows: it is another one of these "impossibility" beliefs, is what it boils down to.
By the way, this doesn't mean that I give any particular credence to the particular alleged example. Just that two weeks is obviously not enough to test the claim.
