Hello Akira, I can't see any "bad news".
If I'm correct, Miley's team reports a much more robust reaction than previously seen, along with a variety of extremely anomalous transmutations. Certainly, any fusion reaction will require enough energy to surmount high potential barriers between colliding particles. I think it's a matter of how focused and localized that high energy event is. Macroscopically "cold" reactions may be hot at the nanoscale - for instance, look at the surface "micro-volcanoes" on LENR Pd, Ni or Ti surfaces. If LENR is real, why should we assume that there is not a continuum of reactions yielding a continuous range of particles/energies depending on experimental parameters?
