There is always room for pathological science. Especially when something like room temperature superconductors are the subject in question. A good researcher will try to find and test all the alternative hypotheses that they can. i.e contrast the cisplatin paper with fleischmann and pons’ paper about cold fusion. This paper reminds me a lot more of the cold fusion paper than it does the cisplatin paper. Another example of a bad paper would be NASA’s announcement of a microbe that used an Arsenic containing analog of DNA.

The only way to do something like that with diamagnetism or ferromagnetism is to deliberately fake the arrangement of magnets.

I’m not excluding the possibility of fraud, but the fraud would have to be deliberate, not self delusion.
