I think the problem here is more nuanced. The first, cold fusion claim that they made belongs in the almost-certainly-false bucket; the many critiques of the work were decisive and clear. I'm not qualified to assess the merits of this new claim, but putting it in the we-dont-really-know bucket seems appropriate. The issue wasn't a rush to bucket, but not realizing that there was a second claim that needed bucketing.
