Terry, you beat me to it! The first thing that came to mind is that I certainly hope that person isn't a scientist... if we have scientists that think a failed experiment PROVES or OVERRIDES the positive ones, then we've got serious problems. What was frustrating is that, due to Celani's inability to express himself clearly and concisely in English, I felt his explanation was too long and disjointed. But he was right, in that all the failed experiments occurred early on when the proper conditions for successful replication were still unknown... as the field learned more and more, reproducibility increased, as one would expect. I think that the skeptic-in-question got Celani's point, but he still thinks that failed experiments trump successful replications... one more example where theories become a religious belief system, and <deity> forbid you challenge that belief.

He insisted that the presentation was favoring the positive results and that the negative results should be presented. Maybe he was a hot fusioner and feared for his job at the ITER? T
