In my opinion, Krivit is not qualified to have a strong opinion about cold
fusion theory. I am not qualified either, so it is difficult for me to
judge, but he does not appear to know enough about physics to evaluate
theory.

I know several experimentalists such as Mizuno and Ohmori who told me they
are not qualified to judge this. Mizuno told me he has no idea which
theory, if any, might explain cold fusion. Mizuno knows far more about
chemistry and physics than I do, or than Krivit does. If he cannot make
head or tail of these theories, I would be very surprised if Krivit can.
The arguments in favor of the W-L theory that Krivit makes merely parrot
what Larsen says.

What I am saying is that if you were to force Krivit to take an
undergraduate written test with questions about modern nuclear theory, I
expect he would fail it. He is in way over his head. I say that based on
what I have heard him say on his own. Anyone can parrot what Larsen says,
or Takahashi says. I have edited enough theory papers that I could probably
write a convincing-sounding summary of some theories, and it might give you
the mistaken impression I know what I am talking about.

I know I would fail such a test. My knowledge of nuclear physics ended with
undergraduate physics and books such as Teller and Latter, "Our Nuclear
Future" (1958) which I recommend, and Asimov, "The Atom" (1991). See:

Click on "Look inside" and "table of contents" and you will see how much I
know about nuclear physics. I have read comments here and elsewhere by
people who do not know this much. I advise them to read this book or
something similar.

A person should know his own limitations.
