Well, that seems to be one scientist with an agenda and another who is quoted here as saying that:
It follows that simply proving that water does have a memory does not prove that homeopathic medicines work.

I don't get the feeling from that or reading the comment thread that there is a lot of acceptance of the point of view  the water memory could explain homeopathy among material scientists.

Put it this way: if i were a homeopath I'd be a lot more comfortable selling it by saying that my experience is that it has a good success rate than I would talking about water memory or other mechanisms.

So a misquote, too. There is also the graphite to diamonds whopper. The short timescale of structures in water and the diamonds thing were noted in several comments at the Guardian.

This thread has much more technical commentary.
