As you go on to imply, that particular version is almost certainly not valid, due to NA, and is probably "undergoing revision" as we speak ... ;-) but of greater interest would be this: Is there a version of the broader UCN dynamic, using published characteristics of the same instead of a tailor-made invention, which stands up better to criticism and do involve NA ? This might go back many years. The weight of evidence for helium in LENR, based on known reactions prior to 1989 together with lack of ~24 MeV gamma - still favors alpha release from Pd via adsorption of a neutron - and a subthermal neutron and with activation fits the bill if it will emit no gamma ... which is in keeping with the 'virtual neutron' (Russel, 1991; Dufour, 1993; Kozima and Arai, 2000) and the related hydrex (Dufour et al., 2001). That would be as an alternative to other theories, or even other results with no theory - where both helium and NA are witnessed (via transmutation perhaps) and not forgetting ... of course ... that tomorrow's version of WL may be different, new & improved, and so on ... when they realize these old errors are insurmountable, and make the necessary changes.
