This does seem to confirm the shrewd and strategic value of pursuing a name/terminology facelift: "Low Energy Nuclear Reactions" - LENR.
If changing the original name (CF) to a different name so that a few ardent skeptics can convince themselves that this is, golly gee wiz, somptin-new, we otta take a closer look at this stuff, well HEY, I'm all for it! Eventually, the historians will get around to filling in all the interesting fiddletebits that lead to the facelift. I'm sure Jed and a few others will see to that.
