Hi All,
I place most of the blame for Scott's inabilty to reproduce
BLP's results on BLP's refusal to cooperte with Scott,
whose experimental work is the gold standard, as far as I'm
concerned.
However, on 19 Apr, 1998, I engaged in the following
correspondence:
``Subject: Re: BLP (Black Light Power) Run #14

Hi Scott,
BlackLight Power is probably so far ahead that they
see no need to make any concessions; but there may be
alternative approaches which they have not thought of.
Regardless of the risks and benefits involved, their
decision is unfortunate.
And it's also very different from what Mizuno did in similar
circumstances. Whether Scott's right or wrong in his assessment of
Mizuno's work, he got a reasonable amount of help, including the cathode
he used in at least one run, from Mizuno's lab.
In short, Mizuno acts like a researcher who's trying to track down the
workings of an interesting effect. Mills at BLP, on the other hand,
seems to act like he has something to hide. It's unfortunate.
Equally unfortunate, IMHO, is the fact that Scott didn't fly to Japan
(with a few meters stuffed in a bag) to observe one of Mizuno's
successful runs first hand, and determine for himself whether Mizuno's
voltage and current measurements and cooling curve determinations were
up to snuff -- but that's another story...
