Miles is one researcher whose work showed good evidence of a correlation of 4He generation with excess heat in a PdD system. There were other researchers who also produced evidence of a correlation of 4He with heat, and on an order compatible with a nuclear reaction of some kind. The 4He connection is only one of several lines of evidence that make an unambiguous case that there's something nuclear going on in the PdD system. It is incumbent upon anyone who would overthrow the years of research that have been done to establish a nuclear reaction to do the hard work of reading the actual papers. There's the chance I suppose that all of that work will have been for naught, but to show that this is the case, one has a lot of homework to do. With the NiH and NiD systems, we know a lot less. We're obviously all glued to our televisions and radios waiting to hear what's next. Personally, I find the bits and pieces that have leaked out here and there tantalizing evidence for a nuclear process of some kind. But what we have to work with is far from being rigorous science, so the engineers amongst us do what engineers love doing, which is to reverse engineer something on the basis of whatever information we have. And doing that effectively requires an open mind, a learning attitude, a willingness to entertain hypotheticals and a willingness to allow others the same latitude. Eric
