quite common... Many article use cold fusion(they ignore LENR) as strawman... they repeat the wikipage...
as I says elsewhere the challenge of LENR acceptation is transforming usual scientist brains from trusting xerox copy machine, to scientific problem solver. I am a bit nasty saying so, because in todays like, trust is absolutely required, or you use all your time to check. the problem is when on trust another, the two are only one vote ... 97% of people agreeing because they hear 2 independent experts says something, it is 2 vote. if 3 other % are convinced by 3 independent opinion... they are a majority. many studies show that crowdvoting is a good tool, provided there is no ability for some to convince others, and for people to follow others. 2013/10/21 Alan Fletcher <[email protected]> > Beware of the yeti, and spurious science too > > http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24433-beware-of-the-yeti-and-spurious-science-too.html > > ... > > Sykes must be confident in his findings to take such a high-profile, > high-risk tack, though I can't help but be reminded of the media train > wreck following Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons's alleged discovery of > cold fusion.
