Good question Peter. I've been wondering something similar, just slightly more specific. Ni-H has gotten a lot of attention lately. But what sequence of Pd-D experiments over the years was most significant to the "...slow erosion of the psuedoskeptic position..." that Abd described in email to the group some time back?
Possible answer - "read the Storms 2010 summary paper and follow his references" ? Or is there a shorter / more specific / different answer?
