From the site: "One of the problems was room temperature was too low elsewhere. Tumors don't grow when mice are chilly because the vessels vasocontrict, it cuts off the blood supply and drugs don't circulate.”

That means there are important validation/verification steps left out of the whole process. Sure, it's impossible to give every detail, and naturally there's always a time constraint, but if there's a hypothesis of action it needs to be verified. (Again easier said than done.)
