I think this puts the nail in the coffin. It's over. However, gentlemen, shitposting with you during this whole travesty of science has been the greatest honor of my life.

Science that proves something doesn't work is not a travesty.

It would have been a travesty if the original paper had been published in a reputable journal. So far, it has only been released as a pre-print.
