Hi all On the matter of scepticism:
No one is denying people the right to be scientifically sceptical of LENR but to be a sceptical scientist you must conform to the Galileo Test and put your eye to the telescope. For the radio reporter to speak out against a report that has not been published, is evidence that the reporter is engaged in religion not science. For the radio reporter to further compound this with ad homonym attacks, is further evidence that the reporter is engaged in religion not science. If the radio reporter has read the publication of the first Third Party test report: http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.3913 and reported on the first set of third party tests and then critiqued it at the time, the reporter did not, as others did and reported it in main stream media as these and others did: http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2013/05/20/finally-independent-testing-of-rossis-e-cat-cold-fusion-device-maybe-the-world-will-change-after-all/ http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2013/05/21/the-e-cat-is-back-and-people-are-still-falling-for-it/ http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-05/cold-fusion-machine-gets-third-party-verification-inventor-says Then that critique would apply to that report as part of valid scientific scepticism. The fact that the radio reporter did not report on the paper or critique it on scientific methodological grounds at the time, is evidence that the reporter is engaged in religion not science. Arguing, as the radio reporter is doing, that the second six month Third Party test, dealing with those critiques of the methodology of the first Third Party report should not be published, is to go against the fundamental principles of the scientific method: In order to be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. This is the most damning evidence that those involved in the radio report are engaged in religion not science. The Experiment is king. To be scientifically sceptical you must conform to the Galileo Test and put your eye to the telescope. Kind Regards walker
