The issue is that this article shouting "failure" is just as prematurely as the loyalists crying "success." Anger drives clicks and Nature knows that it's angering the loyalists, especially with outright falsehoods in the article:

> graphene, frogs and pliers — can exhibit similar magnetic behaviour.

>

> Frustrated by the atmosphere of hype, some scientists have taken to mimicking the levitation videos with everyday materials suspended by string and other props

Why aren't the scientists levitating frogs above rare earth magnets to make fun of the videos? Because you need superconductor magnet, not a rare earth magnet, to do that. This is a blatant internal inconsistency, and shows that this article is garbage.

Don't trust the loyalists, don't trust the sensationalists, trust science.
