Harry IMHO cold fusion or LENR reflects the old theory of thermos-dynamics which poist a relationship between enthalpy .
The new issues are to the theory are the addition of quantum bits of angular momentum and energy. In a stable system entropy always increases as long as There is conservation of energy and AM. If Newton were still around he would be developing a a math to address the quantum nature of reality in addition to its continuous nature to 0 as applies to a magnetic field. Computer finite analyses may serve as a good substitute to handle the quantum reality and predictions regarding stable systems .

I think it is similar to this: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -- Hebrews 11:1 (Kings James version) I am not making the comparison in order to show that the pursuit of cold fusion is irrational because it requires faith. On the contrary, I think faith (of some kind) is a rational requirement for anyone venturing into the unknown.
