Happy water
The presentation was good. It gave all the particulars of the experiment, with the exception of why these guys thought this was true. It is a pretty obscure idea to believe that water can take the emotions into them, and make crystals. As one of the presenters said, you don't just get an idea from thin air. What gave the Dr. the idea that water had these capabilities?
The part that I liked was that they also said not to discount an idea simply because it seems crazy. The craziest ideas in the past turned out to be true.... who would have thought the earth was round!?! That you need to have proof either way is a good idea to keep.

It should be that a proponent of a crazy idea would give good evidence that the idea isn't so bad, that it makes sense and that this would be how they would convince people that the idea had merit.
Unfortunately, people will do sloppy research, sloppy analysis and still be convincing to the general public. Some proponents will use outright fraud to try to give the appearance of support for their claim.
It then becomes an imperitive to debunkers to run good experiments with good analysis and if the idea is bogus (as most often it is) show that the idea is bogus so that the public isn't lead astray.
