I'll grant that no one has come forward with any explanation of gravity manipulation in the show, but I don't see why your hypothesis is any more valid, and since they obviously can float objects of an arbitrary size, keep people and objects stuck to the "floor" in a spaceship, and prevent them from feeling the effects of acceleration, suggesting that these things are linked seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Reasonable, perhaps. But it doesn't follow that, if A and B are opposites, the presence of A automatically indicates the presence of B.
I other words, it may make sense to assume that they have both. But you can't say that having artificial gravity means they have to have antigravity.

That depends on how the "artificial gravity" is achieved. If it's a field holding the crew to the deck "holding" them downward, then it's not going to allow for antigrav tech.
If the "artificial gravity" is in fact the result of graviton manipulation then severing the effects of said (hypothetical, BTW) gravitons would be easy by comparison.
If they dont describe it at all or make it plot issue, you'll just go nuts thinking about it.

Additional - pics are now available from "The Siege" on a German Stargate site, that depict the arrival of Colonel Everett and his SFs and jarheads, as well as some of the accompanying action. Say, are the uniforms and red berets familiar to anyone? And where are they standing in that panoramic pic, anyway?
Nothing on Daedelus (was hoping to see a shot of her bridge or something), but I'm quite happy seeing proof that the situation on Atlantis isn't as dire as it might be. McKay, who has been visibly slimming down since the beginning of the series, is only a few episodes away from a fresh Big Mac.
