In reply to Jerry's, "Whenever there is anomalous data such as the Pioneer experience, we should retest: Eliminate variables. Simply assuming there is something that the researchers are missing is unfair to them, and an offence to the spirit of discovery."

I do not disagree with your thought. First try to eliminate simple explanations. If the anomaly still remains, try different hypothesis, to try to resolve the anomaly.
Comment:
In this case, I believe the Pioneer anomaly is real. I think I can see a link between a group of anomalies. I have a rough hypothesis, with no new forces or particles, that seems to explain what is observed. I will see if I can tidy it up and see what you guys think. Probably take a couple of months.
It would be funny if the hypothesis is correct, as it seems a bit obvious, if the anomalies are viewed as a group rather than individually. Particularly if no new physics is allowed.
