I get that terrible sense too - either the original studies were in error, or some one-off fluke makes it difficult to reproduce. On the upside however, and I'd caveat this as not being fully in the know about the art of the possible in solid state labs, it seems that the material isn't that awfully difficult to produce given an appropriate lab and equipment. Hopefully we'll know one way or the other shortly.
