In the above statement you mean that you then will admit you are
wrong. If you are wrong then you are of course wrong whether
someone does a demonstration for you or not.
Ah, but unless someone does a demonstration, it is impossible for me
to know if I am right or wrong. A theory proves nothing. Only an
experiment can show what is true. So in a sense, until someone does a
demonstration I am neither right nor wrong, sort of like Schodinger's
cat that is both alive and dead.
You have published a theory that postulates something might happen at
cryogenic temperatures. That may be so, but until someone tests it by
actual experiment, no human being possibly can know whether it is
true or not, and an assertion that it is "true" is meaningless. It
can only be plausible or implausible speculation. To my knowledge,
there have been no cold fusion experiments at cryogenic temperatures.
