<<Post science writer Joel Achenbach says that he’s sticking with Einstein, at 
least for now, because: 
Einstein’s theory... isn’t based primarily on measurements.
Einstein’s theory emerged from thought experiments. It was a deep insight into 
the nature of the universe. Subsequent experiments for more than a century have 
verified that he was right.
For the new finding to carry a lot of weight, it would need more than an 
instrumental measurement. It would need a theoretical foundation. Otherwise you 
have something that is enigmatic rather than revolutionary.>>
 
 
At least he calls the finding enigmatic rather than delusional or an error.
