How magnanimous of you to do everyone a service by ignoring all reasonable disagreement as conspiracy theories. Clearly we need more of your kind to prevent us

  As I pointed out, people are free to read these articles on their sites, I'm just trying to limit the damage in a way I can control. I am also not preventing anybody from discussing this- we are discussing it here. Claiming the Koreans made a fake mistake to throw people off while getting publication priority isn't reasonable disagreement. It's within the realm of possibility they are playing 3D chess but I think the consensus opinion is reasonable: they didn't provide enough info to reproduce what they saw, and what they saw likely isn't room temperature superconduction. Since then we've seen experimental groups "confirming superconductivity" (which they didn't) and theory groups claiming the chemistry is consistent with superconductivity, but theorists will come up with theories for anything, often by just tweaking some variables until they get something that appears plausible.
