I am not at all sure about this being true, as a
general rule.
In fact, unless I am suffering grave memory loss or
confusion (always a distinct possibility ;-)
Always a possibility for me too. 8^)
there
seems to be ample evidence that (some kinds of)
surface cracking are proven to be beneficial, in
various experiments ... although to be honest, I do
not have the citations at hand.
Well, there is the case of fractofusion, but that is not an excess
heat phenomenon and arguably not even a cold fusion phenomenon.
If you are unaware of this, I will try to find the
references.
There are numerous references to the importance of achieving
sufficient loading to obtain excess heat, and numerous references to
the the importance of eliminating electrode cracking to the achieving
of high loading. I merely gave one of the earlier references by
Bockris.
Perhaps you are instead referring only to
a specific kind of experiment?
I'm only referring to excess heat production in hydrogen loaded
metals or surface bombarded metals.
