> That's a non-sequitur. If there weren't several repeated experiments showing similar results it might be a reasonable caution. However, many of the best scientific discoveries arose in similar mis-comprehensions.
It's not a non-sequitur! It's firm evidence they don't understand what is going on and therefore aren't in a position to explain it. The fact that they have found a consistent effect does not mean they found anything interesting, a tiny wiggle very close to the detection range when you put a lot of power into it isn't by itself interesting unless you have a good basis to know it is. Which they DON'T.
