If a device can produce 10 kernels of wheat from one kernel, you only need one kernel to feed the world. Once it gets going, there is no input required.

Sure. Let's look at the analogy. You can produce 10 kernels of wheat from one kernel. Easy. Plant it. Does that mean that the world is fed because you have one kernel?

Well, yes. Or at least all the wheat in the world comes from kernels produced in previous harvests. There is no external input of wheat kernels. When the energy from cold fusion can be sowed to produce more energy, eliminating the need for external input of energy, then you will have something.

Sure. And when we can produce all the wheat we need without any seed input, we'd really have something with that, as well.

Cude holds a series of contradictory assumptions that he asserts, one at a time, or a few at a time. It's polemic, debate tactics. Each meme is designed to discredit cold fusion. Because that's his goal, he doesn't care if his ideas are self-contradictory, he's just looking for one more reader to be hooked, to swallow his bait, to walk away with, "Yeah, how come they couldn't reproduce that experiment?"

You know, if you spent less time trying to analyze my motives, and describe my style, and call me names, and stuck to the topic, your posts would be 1/3 as long, and much more compelling reading.

I'm no longer writing for you, Cude. Ignore my posts if you like.

Let us know if you have something substantive to say, beyond repeating your canned bluster.
