The skeptical naysayers are the ones that started this conflict. They have attacked cold fusion for twenty years. Instead of being honestly skeptical and stating more research needed to be done, they claimed it was impossible. We now need to prove to them cold fusion is a reality. We do not need to use terms like LENR to be more politically correct. I think some folks use the term LENR just to avoid making the naysayers feel too embarrassed. They need to feel embarassed and ashamed of the way they have squashed cold fusion research!

We will get much further with more people if we emphasize that "something" is new and different, and can THEY explain THAT. If we get them thinking enough to come up with something---anything as an explanation, then we have gotten past their knee-jerk response to the appearance that we are claiming that it is identical to hot fusion. (Casimirically & Relativistically-speaking, they really might be identical.) But the point is to engage them in a discussion, not to cram our interpretations down their throats with an "In your face!" kind of rhetoric--whether or not this attitude is real on our part, this is what many of them are perceiving. Nothing shuts down the rational part of people's mind faster that making them feel slighted, relationally speaking!

To: [email protected] I like the term cold fusion better. The skeptics have been challenging cold fusion for decades. We need to shove cold fusion in their face. ________________________________ From: Wm.

The Label: "Non-Chemical Heat Phenomenon" is more neutral than LENR. Assuming that this is some kind of fusion is like when people presume that the Sun is Fusion, just because they cannot imagine any other sufficiently great source of energy, but as far as we know, the Second Law might actually be correct, meaning that the Hot Corona (millions of degrees) heats the Cold Sun (Mere thousands of degrees. Embracing genuine ignorance is far better than drinking the strong drink of delusion!!! Scott
