What you'd have to do is 1) create bulk LK-99, 2) prove that that's what you'd created, 3) possibly also show that it's monocrystalline or something, and then 4) show that there's electrical resistance. The problem is that the stuff is really quite difficult to synthesize reliably. Until that can happen, good luck finding out in either direction!

It's definitely difficult to synthesize reliably when people dismiss any replication attempt that doesn't show superconductivity as a priori not being the right compound.

  Heh. But it does sound like it's honestly pretty difficult to make, too.
