    Did I miss it, or do the authors not bother to explain how the original methodology is wrong? Do we just take their word for it?

      They didn't! They mentioned receiving "eight lines of code" and, at the end of the article, write:

      > It is especially telling that no matter what landmark we applied to the methodology, we have yet to get a negative result. There is, in fact, a real chance that you simply cannot get a negative result from this method.

      My guess: The code is not shareable. Maybe its method is laughably disprovable?
