That would not stop amateurs from trying to reproduce the results and even improving on design, fuel and so on. Are you aware of the phenomenon of biohacking? People are fooling around with genetics in their home labs. This is actually pretty cool and I support the emergence of these citizen scientists. If LENR is real it would be a perfect ground for citizen scientists. There are already a lot of people that try to reproduce the e-cat for example, I believe even in this forum. But so far nobody has claimed to have a working device.
