Maybe if he had embeded the crystal in calibrated ballistic gelatin his results would have been independantly verifiable. :D Or since his entire exercise was to repeat previously conducted experiments - that's what undergrads usually do - he could have reduced the S/N ratio and gotten meaningful data.
