I think the article makes absolute sense. This is not the result of a 'lone inventor', it has come to prominence precisely because different teams across the world have also observed 'something' happening. Now whether that something is valid is the subject of the next stage of tests. And I'm sorry I cannot agree with your assertion that this kind of research takes away from 'real' space exploration. This kind of thinking ditches the whole concept of 'blue sky' research and assumes that we know everything we are likely to know. Or even worse, that only 'large teams' can actually deliver advances. Which, of course, we know to be simply not true.
