Hi,
[snip]
Krivit and other worshippers of Widom Larsen theory do not make any sense. The 
reaction is not a weak interaction, but a fusion reaction. The neutrons are 
supposed to be protons and electrons that become virtual neutrons.

Basically, Widom Larsen worshippers want people to believe if a proton and 
electron put on a mask, they are no longer a proton and neutron. 
[snip]
No, WL theory claims that the proton firsts undergoes a weak reaction with a
heavy electron to become a real neutron, which then reacts with other nuclei.

Some would like to characterize Krivit as a snake.

Rossi, particularly.

In my view Krivit is simply a cynic.

Being a cynic is neither good or bad. It's what one does with one's
innate sense of cynicism that determines whether honoring such a
perception of their surroundings serves them (and their readership)
well - or not.

The truly progressive cynic eventually forms a crusty chrysalis from which
eventually emerges a jaded dung beetle.

Terry sez:

 from which eventually emerges a jaded dung beetle.

IMHO, a truly progressive cynic has a sense of humor. Some cynics make
marvelous comedians.

About a year ago I recall Mr. Krivit demanding that Mr. Rothwell
publicly apologize for something Jed had sed that offended Krivit's
sensibilities. I don't recall the particulars of that spat, nor do I
care to - only that Jed didn't apologize. Soon after, Mr. Krivit
announced that he was leaving the Vort Collective, presumably to avoid
being the brunt of what he perceived as additional personal insults
lobbed in his general direction - like farts.

I perceive Mr. Krivit as working very hard at the task of being the
best investigative journalist that he can be. I think he may still
achieve that goal.

Incidentally, as Dirty Harry once said: A man's got to know his limitations

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070355/quotes

Despite the fact that I perceive Mr. Krivit as possessing the
sensibilities of a cynic I think he has wisely chosen not to pursue
the path of a comedian.

I just realized that the way I stated the above could imply that I
don't perceive Mr. Krivit as possessing very good journalistic skills.
This is obviously incorrect. I should have stated the above as:

I perceive Mr. Krivit as working very hard at becoming an excellent
investigative journalist. I think he may still achieve that goal. In
some corners I suspect he may have already achieved it.

Still, I would not recommend Mr. Krivit pursue the craft of comedy.
One needs to be able to laugh at oneself. I see little evidence of
such a trait in Krivit's public outpourings.

Can somebody explain me how,
it is likely a weak interaction involving neutrons, without fusion
could possibly gain energy? And where do these neutrons come from?
It looks like people are more skeptical on the claim 'cold fusion'
than on the claim that 'abra-ca-dabra' can actually do something.

See the Widom Larsen theory, which Krivit champions. For example:

What piqued my interest was reading the phrase ...a weak interaction

The thing is Widom Larsen theory (which I do not think is valid) does produce 
nuclear fusion.

When a proton and electron pretending to be a neutron enter an atom's nucleus 
releasing energy and causing transmutations, it is FUSION!!!

The Widom Larsen folks are absolutely out of their minds trying to claim the 
theory does not produce fusion.
