3) Is it a bad thing to treat Ed's postulates as a guide, even if you don't like the idea of what the hydrogen interaction entails? It could serve similarly to Arata's emphasis on the importance of nano-particles. That had and continues to have a lot of clout in the community -- albeit

They have developed a polariton laser that works at room temperature. That means that polaritons can form coherent and entangled ensembles of SPPs (BEC) when properly pumped. See Exciton and Polariton Condensation

Jones, You are positing that Ni-H fusion must be something completely different than a Pd-D fusion due to the fact that a hydrogen nucleus (proton) is a fermion and a deuterium nucleus (proton + neutron) is a boson. Integer spin particles, Bosons, are not subject to the Pauli exclusion

The BEC buffers the release of energy by widely spreading it out over many NAE. The is something called quantum mechanical blockade that makes sure no one NAE get more energy than the others. When there is no BEC formed, a gamma is produced by the sole NAE and the NAE is destroyed. A LENR system
