I dunno who Doug Adams is or was. I’m a student of Richard Feynman’s inductive postulate. After all, he got a Nobel Prize in Nuke Physics, what did your guy get?

Douglas Adams wrote science fiction based comedic novels. I was paraphrasing a joke he made in one of his Dirk Gently novels.
I had no idea Richard Feynman had weighed in on LENR. I would love to see a link to his published thoughts on the matter.
As to oil futures, the big players look at foreseeable events during the term of their contracts, and LENR still seems to be almost as far off as High Temperature Fusion. When a working scalable prototype is put on line, then you will be able to stake this claim.
The fact that their position also guards against your Black Swan works out very well for them if you are correct. I personally would be willing to entertain a friendly wager on commercial success of LENR within the next five years. Care to put your money where you think Feynman’s mouth is?
