That may be overstating it. I sent a memo to Srinivasan, copied to Beene. I describing what I recall about Srinivasan's lecture: "I think your attitude [Srinivasan's attitude] was that the results could not be reproduced [at SRI], so that made them puzzling, or unsatisfactory, or -- you might say -- kind of useless. There are many irreproducible results in cold fusion. It is hard to judge the significance or validity of such results. I would say they are open questions." I do not recall that he disavowed or retracted the ICCF-3 results. - Jed
