Excellent! Here's something nobody ever mentions, and which I never noticed until Scott Little pointed it out long ago: it requires weeks to initially load a Pd electrode (essentially converting the whole thing into palladium hydride.) Yet those famous first "damning failures to replicate" were announced in that time, or less. Doesn't this prove that MIT (etc.) only made a *single* replication attempt? Wouldn't an honest lab have given several tries before giving up? Perhaps it even suggests that they performed the experiment entirely wrong, and didn't load their electrodes near 100% before suddenly announcing that the experiment didn't work. A person suspecting dishonest actions might even wonder if they started to become frightned that it *would* work, so they turned it off early and hoped nobody would ever check their announcement dates and figure it out. Anyway, in addition to the mysteriously altered baseline, bringing up this date discrepancy might make a nice little "nail in the coffin" when discussing the shennanigans surrounding the sudden "debunker" attacks first mounted against P&F.
