I note that Steve Krivit says they produced He4 from alight water experiment, (and makes a big deal of it), but then at the bottom only says that they admitted to detecting excess heat from a light water experiment. Therefore based on the info as provided, it's quite possible that they did indeed detect excess heat, but that He4 was not the product.
