That was the point that was at issue. Answer: it's not a diversion. The conclusion may be flawed, the evidence may be flawed, the interpretation may be flawed, and/or the research may be flawed. But a consensus conclusion about the fractionation of a 24 MeV quantum into non-penetrating radiation is something to be addressed in a conversation dealing with the question of whether fractionation is possible. I'm not trying to say that the fractionation conclusion is for sure what is going on, either in NiH or in PdD. Only that it's not out in the wilderness either, as some would tendentiously make it out to be. :) Eric
