If it had been thoroughly explained then there wouldn't have been anomalous experimental results. I agree that it's rather likely that we're seeing experimental artefacts rather than new unexplored areas of physical law, but we must scientifically explain the results or else be very cautious, in general, when declaring something to be impossible. As the joke goes, that is well known to be the surest way in science to eventually be proven wrong. Even if it turns out these pseudoscientific dismissals were reaching the correct conclusion; well, as they say, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
