Yes, this faux transmutation does sound like a really wild speculation. IF you could get an inner electron into a DDL state, it would have to fluoresce in x-ray like the transmuted element because, for example, the detection of Cu in Rossi's ash was via XRF. Yes, that would need to happen, and this table presents values which suggest that faux transmutation could arguably happen with calcium/potassium and DDL substitution - but not with Ni/Cu. http://www.med.harvard.edu/jpnm/physics/refs/xrayemis.html Getting the DDL into the inner shell to displace Kb1 of potassium would not necessarily require ionization per se, since the near-field is nearly identical to the electron being displaced… who knows? Kervran is not the kind of experiment to use for validation, however.
