He pointed out that the experiment you're citing showed

weight loss
in some, but not all cases, at the moment of death,

All four cases showed sudden weight loss at or near the time of

death.

and it also showed similar sudden losses of weight at other

times
after death in some cases.


They were not "sudden" since these weight changes were were

measured
MINUTES after death, not seconds.


It is not impossible for sudden changes to happen minutes after
death...


But something very unusual happened at the time of death in all

four cases.
Two of the four had NO anomalous weight change which happened after

that.
The anomalous weight changes of the other two afterwards must be

due to
some other phenomenon than the change that occurred simultaneously

with
death.


Maybe the weight changes at death also was due to "some other
phenomenon"? Including quirky behavior of the balances... It is hard
to rule out that possibility without repetitions of the experiment,
preferably using other kinds of balances.

Again, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
