"The first attempts to replicate LK-99, reported in the past days, have not improved the material’s prospects. " This to me is sort of a summary of Nature's position. Reframing- there is no reason to change from the default position of skepticism - that the material is uninteresting. If you ignore the viral hype, and only pay attention to the replication attempts: They have been rushed. They lack rigor. Still, the summation of their findings is reason to think there is something very interesting going on with this material. I do see some manic hysteria. I understand the urge to push back on that. It's smart to advise people to maintain skepticism. But if you do not think that the replication attempts are an indication that there is something there, I think it's because you have some sort of error in reasoning.
