It is curious, then, that such a clear and immediate falsification of the EU hypothesis should have generated a thread that runs to more than 70 pages.
Either one side is stubborn to the point of lunacy when it comes to avoiding admitting defeat or it is not as clear and immediate as you say.
Should I really declare everything about EU to be bunk? Could that possibly be as premature as Einsteins famous retraction of the cosmological constant?

Once you've finished reading the the EU thread, I for one would be very interested to know what you conclude.
One thing that you may conclude is that there is not a binary choice to be made (or, perhaps, not the binary choice you state).
For example, "the EU hypothesis"; AFAIK (as far as I know) no EU proponent, in that thread, characterised it as a (mere) hypothesis, so a 'clear and immediate falsification' was not (and is not) possible.
