I make the distinction between the Fleischmann-Pons Effect, The Arata
Effect, and the Stringham Effect. All are cold fusion, but the names
identify different methods and give credit. As for the name, everyone
knows about cold fusion. Changing the name only invites a charge of
trying to hide the actual claims.

I think "Fleischmann-Pons effect" is more in line with the names of
similar discoveries. Some people do call it this.
It would not be a real effect if it turns out to be an experimental
error, but then it would not be a phenomenon either.
