They're not part of the main group people should call "NASA scientists", or at least the group that they are working in is not. EagleWorks is the facility they're using. And nothing has been published in proper journals yet. Everything's been presented at conferences. This is not neccessarily because it's bad science, but rather no one wants to take the risk with something so fringe (particularly the warp aspect). There are also a host of other little details (like the miniscule funding) that make haters hate, but once again this does not indicate that it's bad science. They now have to walk a tight rope with trying to use the media to drum up more funding, while also surviving the backlash/skepticism/plain stupidity that comes with the media. In a perfect world they would have all the funding for further testing while also allowing the scientific process (through collaboration) to take place.
Personally I'm not entirely as skeptical and my point was around how while it is fine to doubt, the way to go about doing it isn't as presented by that Wired "writer".
