While achiral Bohr atom theory cannot generate Hbar signatures, achiral Heitler-London bond theory can but its Hbar signatures must be detected. We show that the largest spectral signature to probe Hbar is the singlet-triplet splitting of 9,5 eV at r(0)=0,74 Angstrom, observed in the dihydrogen band spectrum. This large Hbar-signature, overlooked for nearly a century, is confirmed with the observed HH potential energy curve. Hbar claims by CERN-based collaborations, seemingly important for the fate and future of Hbar, are premature and must be examined critically.
