Funny comment from Brian Josephson

[Comment from  Brian Josephson]

Physics World has another of these dogma-driven reports of the DoE investigation, which does not seem to be on the web.  I present key points from it in the form of an exercise in logic:

"Cold Fusion gets lukewarm backing"

1. "the reviewers say they remain unconvinced about the reality of cold fusion ..."
2. "... indeed, a third of the reviewers believe that the phenomenon could potentially create excess power"

Invent a logic system for which these two statements are consistent with each other, and use it to prove that pigs can fly.
