This experiment is absolutely watertight, there can be no argument with its conclusion:
CHI DOES NOT EXIST!
How would this affect CMA?
I can think of two possible angles:
1) Chi is so interwoven into most CMA that without it the whole thing just collapses,. There’s no longer any point training CMA so we should all go and join the nearest freestyle club.
2) Chi is just a convenient way of explaining the effects of training in CMA. The explanation of why it works might be discredited, but the fact it works has been proved time and again..
Any comments?
I guess the basic question is, what is CMA without chi? Is there any point in doing it if you don’t believe in chi?
This thread is not about whether chi exists or not, so please don’t post anything which says ‘ the experiment couldn’t be done’ or theorize on the type of experiment, (though this could make an interesting discussion).
BTW: hi everyone, this is first post but I've had to lurk on the forum for a while due to problems with my login, hope to contribute some other stuff in the near future...
I’ll post the background to the questions later.

if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's something that walks like a duck and quacks like a duck
