It is amazing to a career experimentalist just how much bad experimentation there is in the scientific community today. Procedures and data collection which are so flawed by design that they can never prove or disprove the hypothesis. Self-publishing (which may be the case with the Power Point report referenced here) on the internet has exacerbated the problem many fold as peer review becomes the exception not the rule. It would be nice to know what we are looking at here, senior thesis work, master's thesis work, doctoral thesis work or whatever. Frankly except for the level of equipment used, involvement of Cervelo and complexity of the procedures it looks like a bad high school science project. The concept is certainly that half-baked.
