They joke that "The eventual results of this experiment (which are not yet available) have been accepted “in principle”, and will be published when made available by the author(s)." It seems to me there is a fixation on positive results. To get funding, it is usually necessary to pre-register a set of questions, at least, if not the scientific methods. So wouldn't it be better if funding requests and submission of academic papers were the same process, and double blind?
