Hey Jones, I have no way of discussing the issue with you. You are in a different pay grade. However, I am a little amazed about your very final judgement about the theory proposed. I am not saying it is right . I for sure do not say your analysis lack anything. It just amazes me that people in Vortex, which constantly complain that the established scientific community ignore the LENR and call it 'impossible ' with a finality that has poisoned the discussion, now are ready to condemn a theory pro[posing another orthodox solution. I think a discussion between you and the people producing the theory would be beneficial. There are very few 'never' and 'ever' that stands for long. Very short half time:)
