36/ The reality of the claims in the paper will be decided (by people closer to the situation and more expert in the field than I am) on the basis of data and reproducibility. Weird shenanigans are a distraction to the important question.

I’m now very pleased my people have managed to produce a very entertaining physics drama 😎 Is there a physics drama Oscar? Wiles Licher is an unusual enough name I’m inclined to suspect an anagram.
