"How to bring people around", the very question sounds like a religion, not science.
The only way to bring people around is to have an easily replicated unambiguous experiment. I've been waiting 25yrs to see such an experiment. Currently in LENR the more credible the scientist the poorer the performance. IE the people with good results seem to do lousy science IE: Rossi Known fraud shyster with report where temperatures are reported above the melting point of parts of the device. The people with the most open info seem to get null results: The Martin Fleishman Memorial Project.. open science with no un-ambiguous positive results. Probably the best results to date as far as open well done science might be the Navy in San Diego. I personally spent my own $ to attend ICCF-18 and I came away from that event less confident that LENR had potential as a viable energy source that before I attended.
