Harry, what I meant is that _existing_ SPAWAR effect observations, being limited to tracks in areas of the chip close to the cathode, can't prove my assertion that the observation is creating the effect. My suggestion is that the higher electrolyte resistance areas where the cathode touches the plastic promote simultaneous deloading and incident deuteron fluxes, and thus hypothetical Desorbing vs Incident Excess Surface Electron Catalyzed Fusion. IOW I suggest there might have been be no significant nuclear activity if the chip hadn't been there, touching the cathode.
