He should read cold fusion papers published by EPRI and SRI (McKubre), Los Alamos (Storms), and China Lake (Miles). These institutions have higher standards of rigor than the journals, and their reports are more detailed. Those journals are sloppy. They are often run by people such as Piel or Maddox. Those two were ignorant fools who did not have a PhD and who did not bother to read scientific papers because "reading papers is not our job" (as they said to me.) If this person is not convinced by the papers from McKubre, Storms and Miles, plus Bockris and Will on tritium, then he is not a scientist. It is a waste of time trying to convince people who do not instantly see that these papers prove the issue. People who slavishly believe the journals instead of looking at original sources and judging the data for themselves are hopeless. - Jed
