While I am hopeful and optimistic about the report, I am sometimes pessimistic about its potential impact on the "outsider" public. For example, hasn't Mills' gotten a fair amount of independent/quasi-independent verification on certain aspects of his theory (certainly the excess heat), yet no real attention because no commercial product on the market as of yet (that we know about)? Isn't the experimental reality of excess heat obvious/true/proven, yet that can't even gain traction in the public. Not saying it couldn't/wouldn't be a huge story, just stating some general pessimism about the attention span of people outside this "community".
I agree that COP near 2.0 would be relevant, as mentioned by Jones here & Brian Ahern elsewhere, and I'm not expecting any gammas commensurate with excess heat (based on passed observations/experiences w/ PdD & NiH systems) -- though I'm willing to be surprised. I would be much happier if David French's "magic numbers" COP 6-10 & Temperatures 200-600F could be achieved (if I'm remembering correctly).
