Yes. He had so many basic facts wrong in his interview with ev-world, it should have been an embarrassment to NASA. Like all the other fans of Widom & Larsen, they love to point out how the theory avoids the Coulomb barrier (in an exothermic reaction), and don't seem to be aware that the energy barrier to electron capture (an endothermic reaction) is about 10 times higher. The WLT is its own scam.
Am I misreading WL equation (3) ?

The weak reaction occurs spontaneously if
Ml * c^2 > Mn * c^2 - Mp * c^2 =~ 1.293 MeV =~ 2.531 Me * c^2 (3)
Ml (mass of lepton) Me (electron) Mp (proton) Mn (neutron)
which seems to me to say that a "heavy electron" needs have a mass greater than 2.531 the rest mass of an electron.
Or is (3) wrong? Or am I?
