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.
