What is your point? That we should distrust everything in a scientific journal? You are shifting the goal post. First, you wanted a publication. Now, you say that would not be enough?

I am inclined to believe a publication unless other plasma physicist come out with a contradictory information.

It's easy to be cynic...

My point is that people should distrust science by press conference.

The minimum is to wait for the publication.

Even then, scientific skepticism is the rule, not the exception. Especially in fields that are price to hype.
