The result of the debate was - kept
Subject is real but article is a hoax. (Nicolaus Demalone is made up; technique invented recently, not in 1892; no such thing as "heat particles", quantum or otherwise; Ice-9 is a fictional substance from the Kurt Vonnegut science fiction novel Cat's Cradle). See [1] for a real explanation of the technique. Until someone writes a real article it would be better not to have this nonsense and fakery here. Gdr 10:32, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)
