He traced the math behind it back to a computational fluid dynamics paper, which the debunkees had used equations from with no context. He cold emailed professors asking for feedback of his organized findings, got back a 3000 word article based on it, and with help from a mathematician and psychologist in smoothing the writeup, and ultimately got it published in a top journal and the offending results recognized as flawed. The general crusade continues.
