SRI and Godes are presently engaged in commercial R&D, not rigorous fundamental scientific research. The rules are different.

   It is of no help to produce youtube videos which show this or that.


SRI has not made YouTube videos as far as I know.

   The LENR-field has yet to prove its adherence to the scientific
   method . . .


This is nonsense. Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers have been published describing the experiments, materials and techniques in detail. Any expert who has funding and time can reproduce the effect. It is no more difficult than cloning mammals or doing open heart surgery. In other words, it takes skill but it has been widely replicated.

   To discard this, or mix up categorials -as I am afraid Jed does- is
   dangerous!


This has nothing to do with me. I am not in charge of policy at the U.S. Patent Office. They are the source of the problem. The purpose of a patent is to promote progress in technology by sharing information while protecting intellectual property. If the P.O. would do their job, information on cold fusion would spread as quickly as it does with any other commercial R&D.
