i mean, you’re really burying the lead there when the article states pretty clearly in the abstract that the existence of this is contentious.
your quote doesn’t really demonstrate it doesn’t exist, it just demonstrates what the article already clearly states which is that people don’t agree.
it’s disingenuous to quote that specifically while ignoring things like:
from the exact same article, is all i am saying. bad rhetoric.

If you define the Mpemba effect as hot water reaching 0 degrees faster, then no, it’s not observable. But if you define the Mpemba effect as heated water freezing sooner, (remembering that freezing can initiate below the “freezing point” when water is subcooled) then the Mpemba effect may be observed.
If true, it would be interesting that cool water is less likely to nucleate and form ice than water that was heated.
