Holmes-Watson
The article presented the text as that of the experiment. Off-hand i like the "filled in" version better, but what is needed is not to improve on the 2nd-best joke, but to quote the experiment accurately.
I've therefore restored the prior version of the joke. (But thanks for the cop ed, which i retained.)
If what you mean is that the article is in error, first, say that clearly.
Second: The original editor got away with not providing documentation, largely bcz there was no controversy. If there is now a controversy, the change sought requires verification. If the Web has that, provide an exact URL (not just the site's front page.)
