Nigel, far more information is available than most people realize. My
present book has 750 citations to essential information. How many
people do you think have read these papers? My data base contains 4700
papers, which is more than available on LENR.org
I'm trying to apply the fewest number of assumptions as possible to
all observed behavior. I find that this is possible without violating
any laws of nature and without introducing novel mechanisms. I can
predict a whole range of behavior that can be looked for to test the
model. Some of this behavior has been seen and is unexplained and
some would be expected but ignored. The phenomenon has only a few
novel features that I have identified. The rest can be explained by
accepted laws of nature. Unfortunately, this requires a book length
justification because acceptance requires a person to give up strongly
held opinions.

I don't feel that we have anything like enough evidence to say
definitively whether there is one, or more than one, underlying

of experimental results will have a common underlying mechanism, and
it is well worth trying to make progress by looking for common
factors that might point to possible underlying mechanisms. But
there may well be outliers that dont fit in, which may, or may not
indicate that it is hopelessly wrong, or there might be multiple
mechanisms However a hypothesis should suggests some novel
experiments (ie is to a degree testable and can make predictions)
which, as has already been said, is the whole point of a
hypothesis. If it does not then it is of no great help.
I feel that to state categorically at the moment that there are X
underlying mechanisms is akin to stating that you can fit X angels
on a pinhead.

The cold fusion reaction must be the same for all systems if we
look deep enough.
That is absurd.
There is not the least bit of evidence for that proposition. In
fact, the evidence points to perhaps a dozen energetic reactions of
hydrogen when loaded into condensed matter.
