http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2013/07/15/why-cold-fusion-has-to-die/ Hi Mark, I suspect your latest FORBES article will generate plenty of discussion here. Obviously, you suspect something interesting is happening. something that warrants further research. I get that. Nevertheless, let the games begin! ;-) Personally, I think you have missed a critical point. The term, "CF" is essentially nothing more than a place holder word. I suspect every researcher and scientist who has studied this mysterious and little-understood phenomenon for over 20 years knows that. Attempting to invent another placeholder word, as you have suggested, such as "AES" will not help the cause. All that would accomplish is generate more criticism from skeptics and debunkers. Many of them would draw an analogy of watching a dog chasing its tail. Of course, it will be entertaining for them. They will simply say "see! They don't know what they are doing!" Are you sure you want to contribute to such a cause? >From what I have noticed many individuals who don't like the "CF" word seem to have a personal axe to grind of their own. Have you considered doing some research on Mr. Krivit, from New Energy Times. He is one of the biggest detractors for using the "CF" word. Try to find out what kind of an "axe" he is trying to grind. It's possible you might find such research to be a fascinating adventure of human psychology, particularly since Mr. Krivit claims to be an impartial investigative reporter. As a former BoD member for NET I beg to differ. Last of all, let me go to the quote allegedly from David Goodstein: > What all these [CF] experiments really need is critical examination > by accomplished rivals intent on proving them wrong. WTF! Is Goodstein serious? IMHO, critical examination needs to be performed by accomplished IMPARTIAL scientists and researchers intent on discovering what may or may not be going on.
