There was one group of explanations that, depending on how you define things, might as a consequence end up in (3), the bucket for everything that is not fusion or involves f/H or is experimental error, but which I intended to go into (1), the fusion bucket. I would like to place in category (1) nucleon transfer reactions and neutron and proton capture reactions. Depending on what definition of *fusion* you go by, such reactions might be considered something else, although in more common usage we usually think of them as fusion. When Rossi hints that no fusion is involved [1], I suspect he is using a more selective definition of the term, but my idea was to include such reactions nonetheless in category (1) (the category I'm predicting will be borne out in time).
