Anybody with access to a research library could have found the unclassified NASA technical memo. Even if they didn't many researches had access to the materials and tools to do the experiment. And the concept itself is "supremely simple" to use your own words.

The only conclusion that can be made is that cold fusion investigators are poor researchers, lazy, and not too bright. The bad reputation of the cold fusion field is self inflicted.

Yup. They could have. But they didn't. Ingenious approaches that result in the "palm-forehead" slap and the blurting of "damn, why didn't "I" think of that" happen every day.

The same end result was ultimately reached...it just took more time and wasn't done as elegantly.

Not. Guys like you work very hard to inflict that reputation, as you continue to do here. You are simply grossly intellectual dishonest, and a waste of time.
