Depends on the size of the effect you wish to measure, and the underlying variance. They got a massive effect, which to me, seems improbable, and I half suspect the randomization is at play.
I think it'd be pretty simple and cheap to replicate the things we care about in this study. All you really need is a whiteboard, some markers, a small room, a few interviewers and a candidate pool. The eyetracking getup really only gets in the way of that and seemed more like a problem in search of a solution.
