In the case of cold fusion these values are negative. Instead of
glory, you get the frozen boot (as the Russians call it). You don't
get money; you pay it, in lost income. Sometimes 100% of income.
Takahashi's theory wasn't published yesterday. Where are the
specific critiques, published?
As far as I know, only a few papers mention Takahashi, such as Miura.
Although I do not follow theory publications closely. Paying no
attention to content, you can find Miura and some others at LENR-CANR
with a search for Takahashi's keywords such as "tetrahedral
symmetric" or search for one of his titles in the footnotes of other papers.
If there were others I could usually find them among the papers on my
disk, although many are in image format so they do not index. I use
dtSearch Ver. 7.25 for this purpose, with a search request such as:
tetrahedral w/25 symmetric
I find, for example, a reference in the Storms book, the
aforementioned Miura paper, Ohta, and a review by Dolan.
If there were critiques, then presumably Takahashi would reply.
I would not count on that.
