No, it's actually quite different. What you're suggesting is that they manually scattered each electron, and then brought each one manually back into place. What actually occurred is that a completely different state was induced, which effectively 'reversed time' (I really hate that phrase). I found a pdf of the study, but I lost it among all the 'Have scientists created a TARDIS?'s. Basically, it said the maths, and the probability of an electron spontaneously entering the state. You could probably find it, if you really wanted to.
