Thats my point. I think its LIKELY that the information is true. I just think there is enough suspicion for me to not make a final conclusion based upon preliminary reporting in a highly biased paper from a lab of questionable quality.
whether the test was done correctly, interpreted correctly etc. is still open to question. that's one reason there's a procedure for a B sample. What gets me is the posts on here that don't want to believe that the isotope test was actually done and was positive. "The French are making this up" line is wearing a little thin. The lab made an error is still possible, but I wouldn't put the farm on it.
