The discussion centers on the validity of claims made by an individual named Johnson, with participants questioning the need for independent testing to verify his assertions. It is emphasized that the burden of proof lies with Johnson, as his claims lack credibility without independent confirmation. The consensus leans towards viewing Johnson as lacking legitimacy, with some labeling him a "crackpot" due to the absence of demonstrable evidence supporting his claims.

I know it shouldn't work , but has an independent test ever been done to disprove johnsons claims. Is he a crackpot.
You have it backwards: his claims on their own hold no weight. Independent tests are required to confirm his results, not disprove them. Even worse, there isn't anything to confirm or contradict: he hasn't demonstrated anything yet.
Hey all. Looks like my 15 year anniversary of joining PF happened yesterday (while my internet was down). Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, staff and non-staff, for helping make PF such a wonderful community over the years. Here's to everyone at PF, current, past, or future. Cheers!
