He may have decided to revise it all. He left a long reply to my followup question about whether he had read the PNSE paper before he wrote this post (since his first reply was ambiguous, and someone could reasonably wonder if the PNSE paper had framed his expectations and so this anecdote is not as parallel & independent confirmation of the PNSE syndrome as it looked), but then by the time I clicked on the link in the email version, his reply (but not the post) had been deleted.
