It seems a few unis do as well.

Universities don't "believe" in anything. A few individuals working
for a university have expressed interest - none have said they have
conclusive proof.

It's noticeable comparing the older Telegraph report and the recent
Daily Mail report that all the partners are different.

"Proof" - particularly in terms of university research are
independently verifiable and repeatable results published in a
respected peer-reviewed journal.

Years roll by and this doesn't happen.

As MH says - snake oil.
