I think that this is implausible, because American's did get the same result
earlier in 2007, although it was not significant. Therefore same problem with
connectors had to be also in that experiment. But indeed it is possible, that
the same problem was overlooked in both experiments, but still I would wait
more observations for confirmation.
Especially Horace's suggestion for neutrino beam through the core of Earth
should be performed.
However, indeed this kind of unexpected problem is the most plausible
explanation. It went somewhat hilarious when some scientists tried to prove
this result using special theory of relativity. This tells something about how
weak is the general understanding of special relativity, even for professional
scientists.
