As Norman Ramsey <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Foster_Ramsey,_Jr.>pointed out in his preamble to the DoE's original review of cold fusion: "However, even a *single* short but valid cold fusion period would be revolutionary."
Dr. Franks will be gratified to learn that this kook died recently -- still believing that scientific funding priorities could be altered by a "single" experimental outcome. A "single" experimental outcome is not reliable replication comprising the "extraordinary proof" required of "extraordinary claims" and surely a "revolutionary" claim qualifies as "extraordinary". Now, for the rest of us to die off so the pious can get back to placing argumentation over experimentation the way it was before that pesky thing called the Enlightenment came along and caused such a ruckus -- and the way Dr. Franks is here.
