Right. The experiment does nothing to confirm the conjecture. A neat trick would be, say, to figure out how to line up the statholiths (sp?) in zero g and see what happens relative to a plant whose statholiths are randomly arranged. Note that ultimately we would like to come up with ways to convince human bodies that they're in a gravitational field, so this is not entirely academic.
