I meant undue respect. Not undo. By the way, I did not mean that a test by NASA would not sway anyone. Of course it would. The dataset of successful cold fusion results has swayed a lot of people already. It continues to attract ~10,000 downloads a week. I probably know that in greater detail than anyone else, since I can watch the traffic at LENR-CANR.org.
What I meant was that NASA will not sway the hard core opponents such as Park and the JASONs. It will sway people who are friendly toward cold fusion; people who are sincerely interested and open minded; and people now sitting on the fence. There is already increased support thanks to better results and support from KAIST and others. The hard-core opponents will be the last to come around. They will not believe anything until the dikes give way and tons of money starts rolling into the field. I mean like ~$1 billion per month in R&D funding. The most extreme opponents such as Park will probably go to their graves insisting that it isn't real; it is all fraud and lunacy. (I have never met the JASONs but I have heard they are strongly opposed to cold fusion.) - Jed
