"You completely miss my point ... Ruby's argument dimisses Ethan's
argument by simply saying "you're wrong" and citing experimental
evidence that isn't accepted outside of the LENR community. You're
right, experiment trumps theory but only when you have an experiment
that can be replicated and has unarguable results. Unless I
misunderstand, the catalog of successful LENR experiments doesn't
include one that you could hand to Ethan and say "here you go, try it,
it works."
No, Mark, I am not saying simply "you're wrong" to Siegel.
We have experimental results that do not fit the Standard Model of
conventional nuclear theory first formulated a century ago.
Siegel is saying that this Standard Model rules today. It doesn't, and
the experimental evidence proves it.

Yes, thank you Mark. I agree with Jed.
Mark Gibbs is wrong in his reasoning
It should be clear that there are experimental results that have no
confirmed model to explain them.
This is the history of revolutionary science, which Gibbs should be
aware of.

I don't think Jed was criticizing your statement,
"Cold fusion has no definitive theory -- as yet, but the experimental
evidence is overwhelming: anomalous heat and transmutations can occur
within metallic-hydrides systems contained in small cells that sit on
a table-top"
it was Gibbs' statement after it which was:
"Unfortunately that's not a sound argument..."
Jed rightfully criticizes Gibbs' statement because it implies that
without a definitive theory, experimental evidence has little weight.
It is a sore point with all LENR followers because it is the opposite
of what science is all about; if repeatable experimental evidence
contradicts theory, then theory may need to be revised/replaced.
Keep up the fight!
