Rather than flame the article, the scientific thing to do is replicate
the experiment changing a variable or two (factorial design) and
invalidate the earlier study.  If some serious professional seeks to do
such I suggest getting a copy Campbell and Stanley's "Experimental and
Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research" [Rand-Mcnally] to seek out
sources of internal and external invalidity.

But I am skeptical anyone would do this.  As Peter Denning noted, few
studies ever get replicated in computer science.  Make my day, prove me
wrong.
