Insanity is not beyond academia, as we have tragically witnessed with the tyranny of theory over experiment in the history of LENR. However, this particular form of insanity is more interesting. Why, of they are willing to let experiment have its proper place, do they insist on interfering with the agreed-upon experimental protocol in such a way as to endanger the practicality of the experiment -- said practicality including the obvious issues of trade secrecy? No academic institution of the modern era can be that naive.
Indeed, this is so incredibly naive of a modern academic institution that, otherwise, is engaged in rational empiricism, that it is probable that Yildiz is substantively misrepresenting the interaction, which throws the entirety of Yildiz's claims into additional suspicion.
