I cannot imagine spending two decades in such a rancorous environment, where a tremendous historical discovery is so fought against. The fact that more scientists aren't depressed is amazing (or maybe they are).
However, choosing to enlarge the system can introduce balancing elements. For instance, consider that it has been as bad or worse throughout history.
And, the film's non-conclusion of the reality of cold fusion is less relevant than the fact that this production is bringing the topic further to public consciousness, riding a wave of awareness that is continuing to grow.
Until we ourselves finally get to see on what side the hair is split, Eli's conclusion is that Storms' "fair-mindedness" wins over Park's refusal to look at the data.
Though some people will see what they want to see (what they are already familiar with), youth have no knowledge of the depressing history. They are looking around for what to do next in an increasingly difficult situation, and open to solutions.
The star of this film is Eric, a high-school kid who will inspire other young people at every viewing.
