- klyrs 6y agoPersonally, I think I'd enjoy the fame of being the first to prove the existence of Majorana fermions much more than whatever promotions / bonuses etc may have been on the table. One might expect a Nobel prize for such a result. This may be cynical, but my guess is that they wanted to get their stake in the ground first, and optimistically saw the misbehaving data as a hardware glitch that would get ironed out before they received any real scrutiny.
