Hi Jed,
Good thoughts...thanks for your reply.

A crucial question is: Can we learn to control cold fusion without a
comprehensive theory? Can we use empirical methods to improve cells to the
point where they become practical sources of energy? Michael Melich
believes we can, based on examples of other technology developed without
fundamental theory, such as solid state radar.
Where did you hear Melich say this?
Others say that until the physics are fully understood, it is not likely
the reaction will be controlled. I cannot judge this issue, but I hope
that Melich is right, because I do not see many prospects for a theory.
Sorry Jed, but you asked for this - Of course you don't see many prospects
for theory. Your words: "I don't care about theory."

Considering that the mystery to 100% PxH is unsolved, what sense does it
make to wear blinders with any of the related aspects of LENR research,
be they transmutation, tritium, neutrons or theory?
No one is wearing blinders. This comment makes no sense.
Forgive me, I must have misunderstood your comment about what you give a
f*** about ["fig" was your exact word]:
"I have not examined the other claims because frankly, I only care about
heat. If they have not nailed down heat who cares what else they have? I
don't give a fig about tritium or neutrons or shrinking Mills hydrinos for
that matter, and especially I don't care about theory."
You meant something else?
