Yes, this faux transmutation does sound like a really wild speculation. IF you could get an inner electron into a DDL state, it would have to fluoresce in x-ray like the transmuted element because, for example, the detection of Cu in Rossi's ash was via XRF. Further, how would you even go about putting an inner electron in a DDL state? Seems like you would have to first fully ionize the atom - well, all electrons but one. And we don't even know how to put H into a DDL state with its completely exposed DDL electron. It appears to require sucking out a large energy without using photons.
But, the speculation was interesting.
