It makes it less likely this was the result of careful scientific work. It increases the likelihood there was a screwup somewhere. The more outrageous a result, the more likely that was anyway.

Nah. Speaking from experience as a scientist, drama increases with the magnitude of impact. This is far from any confirmation that the result is real, but it's quite consistent with the authors believing it's real.
