I am curious about the "weak and erratic" comment. What about evidence like this -
http://newenergytimes.com/v2/conferences/2012/ICCF17/ICCF-17-Dash-Effect%20of%20Recrystallization-Paper.pdf This doesn't look that hard to reproduce - the main problem is access to the spectrometer-equipped SEM, which is not the sort of power tool found in the average garage. ;-) I've no idea how common these devices are. Anyway, have their been attempts/failures to reproduce this kind of work?
