Hmm ~
Now we have experimental validation of varying mass within electrons ~ depending on entanglement.
In the real world, as distinct from the "electrons in a vacuum", you really could produce a lot of electrons with mass sufficient to affect protons.

There is some interesting theorizing at Vortex over this article.
Basically, real world data is catching up to LENR observations.

Re: [Vo]:FYI: Electrons moving in certain solids can behave as if they are a thousand times more massive than free electrons.

Caution
Mass is condensed matter physics is different from mass as it
appears in other physics.
Effective mass of electron
When an electron is moving inside a solid material, the force between other
atoms will affect its movement and it will not be described by Newton's
law. So we introduce the concept of effective mass to describe the movement
of electron in Newton's law. The effective mass can be negative or
different due to circumstances. Generally, in the absence of an electric or
magnetic field, the concept of effective mass does not apply.
