To derail the discussion even further:

1.)The given audience in any form is always changing. He might have given new information to someone who hasn't seen it before(young,new english speaker, ect)

2.)We are talking about SCIENCE and whats great about SCIENCE is that to do it well requires SKEPTICISM. The article itself even says that the results haven't been confirmed by a different specialized lab. I would be floored if we discovered another fundamental force but like all things we should ANALYZE all points of a subject.

I think you're being too generous with regard to the OP's comment. That comment appeared to be mostly a throw-away attempt to reference Bettridge's law, rather than offering any substantiate thoughts on the potential discovery or its likelihood of being a spurious result.
