What I am saying is that seeing something with your own eyes is overrated.
Ask yourself carefully: What did you see? What did you not see? How likely
is it that what you saw was a mistake? How does that likelihood compare to
the likelihood that the people from ELFORSK made mistakes over the weeks
they observed experiments? Why do you think that your observations from a
video are better than their observations in a report?

To summarize in the words of the old joke: What are you going to believe,
two weeks of data, or your own lying eyes?
