Ed explained this more clearly to me: High loading is only an indication that the material does not produce excess volume and the associated large cracks. The high loading only shows that the material has the POTENTIAL to support LENR.
In other words, he thinks that loading is an attribute of a necessary condition, but it is not itself that condition. In other words, an underlying condition causes both high loading and the cold fusion effect, so high loading always accompanies the effect. - Jed
