This is interesting. More than that, it's nice to hear an actual scientist talking. How can you tell? In a way that's more sound-bitey than actually logical, he admits it probably won't work. But really, that's science for you. Don't presuppose it, do the test to find out!
So yeah, it probably won't, and he'll accept those results (unlike SOME people out there, you listening ESP researchers who haven't accepted results for over 100 years?), but if it does, he should know the moment he starts the experiment when he recieves a message telling him it worked.
