Here is another comment I posted in response to myself, in a kind of monologue.

That may be his business strategy. He is under no obligation to publish. I would not criticize him for keeping secrets. However, from the public relations point of view, I think he is making a mistake. If your business strategy prevents you from publishing proof of your claims, then you have no credibility. You cannot expect anyone to believe you. Since you have no credibility, it looks bad to go around claiming you have measured excess heat, x-rays, tritium, and you are designing 104 kW reactors. I think that when a company decides not to provide any experimental evidence to back up technical claims, it should refrain from making those claims in the first place. As I said, he may have published evidence for these claims somewhere, and I did not hear about it. In that case my analysis is off the wall and out of the window. - Jed
