Excellent! All this work should have been unnecessary but it contributes to the community. You can console yourself that at least you learned something about everything from new protocols to the fine details of testing methodologies. Your playbook will help others investigate when confronting novel theories and devices, and ultimately it contributes to building a resource base for countering unwarranted and untested claims.
As a parent of a Kid A, as well, while I am disappointed that this does not support my quantum-consciousness-Diretta-paranormality theory, at least you got some time with them (and pyrokinesis is best achieved with a long fireplace lighter).
