I don’t mean to speak for count-your-change but I think he was saying that Kevmo is using Nasa to prop up Bushnell’s reputation.

I would like to see what he did at Nasa. Was he an engineer or a project manager? Even if he was a project manager, that is not automatically a negative. A lot of them come from engineering backgrounds because they speak the language and have probably had to deal with incompetent PMs. I know I have.

Most PMs only purpose seems to be to make a nice MS Project Gantt chart (that bears no resemblance to reality) and be a roadblock to milestones. I feel for engineers that have an E size plotter because all of the ink and paper will go to printing every revision of a PM’s Gantt chart. Not to mention the fact that they’re on every wall in the engineering department.

No problem. Is Bushnell speaking for NASA? Is he a former employee? In what capacity? How does that qualify him to speak on cold fusion?

Saying “NASA’s Bushnell confuses the question.

Bushnell's record is both a mile wide and a mile deep. I had no problem locating a biographical sketch (and no, I didn't save the link).

It's obvious that he is very much a "research engineer" (256 publications vs only 6 patents).
