Yes, I can too. The "hot fusion" researchers undoubtedly feel their life-long careers threatened. Making cold fusion workable will amount to them having spent lifetimes (some of them, anyway) doing research that is soon going to be rendered inconsequential. Why build the unbelievably difficult-to-engineer Tokamak when you can build a cold fusion table-top size reactor for home use for just a few thousand dollars. And besides the loss of huge amounts of grant money, the worst thing of all perhaps, to see an electro-chemist beat the physicists at their own game. The horror of that!
There’s not very many people who are willing to say that what they have been teaching for decades was wrong. I know you won’t find a one amongst the scientists who live on government grants or teach in US universities.
