The default kneejerk reaction in acidemia and high level engineering in general is to do just that. For example: "The fuq, you did not get superconductivity at room temperature."
That's not sexism...it's healthy skepticism, and I think the root of all this. People get questioned in the field, hard...The good scientists and engineers put up with it, because it's appropriate, and they can defend their data.
I get the point you're trying to make, but I've seen enough healthy skepticism be misconstrued as sexism to be really skeptical of these results.
That's not what they are talking about, and it's super fucking obvious.
