Yes, I realize that. I did not mean to imply that you or Park fear that cold fusion may be real. I am sure that thought has never entered your minds. I meant that it is your nightmare that the whole world will believe a lie. The whole world will fall for this hoax. > and other researchers in a gigantic fraud. >> > > I have said nothing whatever about ANY other researcher. > Don't be silly. You don't believe any of them. You have made that abundantly clear. Don't play word games. You have never even hinted that you believe any report, from any researcher. Heck, you say the papers are nothing but confusion and nonsense. How can you "believe" that? > I apologize to everyone who gets it that I have to keep repeating this for > those who don't.

If you had any desire at all to see it succeed, you would take the time to learn something about it. You, Cude, Park and the rest are certain it is wrong.

You are supposedly technically knowledgeable. You claim to know something about instruments, and calorimetry. Anyone who knows about these subjects will understand that electrical or external thermal input can be measured with confidence, and subtracted. In many experiments output is so much larger than input, there is not the slightest chance of error. You are demanding that heat after death (with no input) must last for weeks or months, when you know that it lasts for hours or days. You are setting an arbitrary standard beyond what you know to be the actual limits of the phenomenon. There is no technical justification for this. One hour of heat after death is just as convincing as one year would be. Both exceed the limits of chemistry. You are moving the goalposts -- as every skeptic has done. You are demanding that cold fusion be something other than what it is. You are demanding that it should have physical characteristics it does not have. This is like demanding that hybrid cars get 200 mpg. They don't. Nature is not arranged to your demands. Take it or leave it. - Jed
