Darned peer review ruining a perfectly exciting discovery!

I think Krayfish was saying that when other scientists checked they didn't come to the same conclusion. It's like if I looked in a box and claimed it contained a red sock, then my friends checked but they weren't able to replicate the original findings of finding a red sock in the box.

Of course, that doesn't completely rule out the fact that all of my friends made a mistake (unlikely) or that they are part of a government conspiracy to hide the truth that said red sock is actually an alien micro-organism that came from a crashed alien spacecraft and infected the lake (okay, I'm getting confused now...).

(looks at flash cards with pictures of socks and microbes)
