Ultra condensed summary:  

    Substance A causes effect Y on substance B.  When substance A is
    diluted to the point where *none* of it remains, it still has effect Y
    on substance B.  Experiment is repeated at other laboratories and with
    all conceivable controls, yielding the same results.
