No one says that tritium "proves" that P&F's claims of excess heat is correct. Tritium cannot prove that calorimety works. That's absurd. It does prove there is a nuclear effect, which is indirect supporting evidence for heat beyond the limits of chemistry. That's not the same as "proof." Also the tritium is not at "ridiculously low levels." It is at very high levels, easily measured, typically 10 to 50 times background, sometimes millions of times background. It is lower than plasma fusion theory predicts, but no one claims this is plasma fusion. Once again you have conflated unrelated subjects, or redefined things in a way that makes no sense. Easily measured, high sigma levels of tritium are not "low" because they are lower than an irrelevant inapplicable theory predicts. They would only be "low" if they are hard to measure. > The skeptics are skeptical of both, but are fully aware that even if low >> level neutrons a la SE Jones were valid, it wouldn't prove P&F right. >> > And no one, anywhere, ever said that. - Jed
