I'm as much of a skeptic as anybody, but I do have to say this.

If you asked James "The Amazing" Randi what he thought of an experiment
where the experimenter was looking for a particular result, he would say
it was suspect.

Randi is a "debunker."  He calls himself that.  Thus if he examines
something and declares "bunk," one wonders if this does not have some
distant similarities to somebody who calls himself a "UFOlogist" declaring
"alien beings."

Now as for diluted antibodies, who knows?  Was the multiple lab duplication
faked?
