The reason the papers are flawed and irreproducible is that there is a (low, and slightly variable) natural level of basophil degranulation which they have ignored.

It's impossible or, at least, impractical to measure a small enough increase in that rate.

Obviously, a statistically significantly higher level of degranulation does mean that the material is having an effect. That's why labs do the test.

 

This is essentially the same point that I made in the 4th post in this thread and I wonder why you are still asking about it.

It is not possible to distinguish between a very small effect and no effect.

They can not prove that there is "no effect" so they say there's a low effect.
