[snip] This may be so, but it isn't a logical counter to my previous point, which was that if most of the heat is coming from shrinkage then H should work as well as D.
If your BEC conjecture is valid, then one would assume that fusion only occurs with D, but the problem is the statement that nowhere near enough He is found to account for the heat, and nowhere near enough He mean few fusions and hence little BEC formation. BTW one would normally expect fusion not to occur with H anyway because of the weak force interaction required to convert a proton into a neutron. The exception being when a proton fuses with another nucleus which already contains at least one neutron (e.g. the Piantelli H + Ni experiments).
