Confirmed. Well, sort of. At least to 1.4 standard deviations, which isn't all that good, but is something.
Given some theoretical basis. Tentatively, in a hurry-up paper. I won't comment too much on this, I'm still reading it.
Anyway, this is real science in action in its very best form: carefully checked results that don't make sense, publication and open flow of information along with a plea "we probably made a mistake, but we can't find it, please see what you can do with it, here's the data." Lots of digging around for prior published results that could shed light on the subject. And some quick theoretical work to give an early look at what might be happening. If this pans out, it's huge. And if it doesn't, nobody comes away embarrassed by bad behavior.
