First off: welcome to Less Wrong! I hope you're enjoying the articles you've read so far.

That said: I don't think you really address the thrust of this article, here. The point is that all we have learned about the principle the universe operates on from either experiment is that said principle produced a given result - the exact same result, by stipulation. Any difference in the conclusions drawn from that result must, therefore, arise from difference in assumptions about the universe - because the two experimenters are working from literally the same data.
