Wow that's a pretty bleak and discouraging assessment Jed, you must be tremendously frustrated. I am just thankful that I am such a LENR neophyte. Fingers crossed it appears the genie is now out of the bottle and someone (Celani, Miley, Piantelli, Arata, McKubre, Ahern, Rossi, Brillouin, Dekaflion ....) will do an unimpeachable demo in the next few months (as Rossi could have done if he cared, his fat-cat demos were a step backwards).
I think the breakthrough demo is now most likely to come from one of the older hands as they seem to care more for the science than the pursuit of financial gain, the only explanation I can see for the other researchers in the game going into stealth mode of late. A well executed demo will change everything, and should then give you license to go around for the rest of your life wearing an "I told you so" t-shirt.
