Our entire system of science is based on the proper elavuation of another's
work.  One must remain skeptical until another scientist can produce the
same results as the scientist producing the claim.  Until it's validated
it's only myth.

This is the entire problem also with Pond & Fleishman's work on "room temp
fusion".  It remains a myth because hundreds of other scientists were unable
to produce the same results.
