Let's say we had a million balloons all filled with air, and around those million balloons there is a lattice of tinker toys such that each balloon is boxed in. Now, in the middle of all those balloons, you pop one of them. Would you be able to hear the explosion? Probably not, because the emitted energy would be absorbed by the lattice & other baloons. Similarly, with billions of H atoms trapped in Palladium lattices, when 2 of them fuse, the emitted energy gets absorbed by the lattice. That's how we end up with transmutations. But if you had a million balloons in a big room (with no tinker toy lattice) and you exploded 50,000 of them at one time, would you hear the explosion? Yes. The emitted energy would not be fully absorbed by the surrounding matter, and indeed could even lead to further explosions & emissions. That's the difference between cold fusion (tinker toy lattice, only very few fusion events) and hot fusion (no tinker toy lattice, thousands of fusion events leading up to a large emission of energy). Imposing the conclusions of hot fusion emitted energy onto cold fusion emitted energy is where your observation loses its validity.
