“The possibility that LENR is fraudulent...” - WW
The probability of fraud the same as it was. Check your logic.
Since some stock certificates are true and valid, are all stock certificates true and valid?
If presented with a stock certificate from BNY Mellon, do you treat it with the same precaution as you would from one claimed to be found in grandma’s safe? How would you treat one presented from a convicted forger?
The scientific process and search for truth is about independent verification. Trust nobody. Instead get their procedures and replicate the findings.
My logic is just fine. Note "LENR" as the broad class. That there may be some individuals practicing fraud within that broad class is not what I'm referring to.
According the the hot physicists, ALL LENR research is either fraudulent or mistaken. That position is now untenable by any measure.
"The scientific process and search for truth is about independent verification. Trust nobody. Instead get their procedures and replicate the findings."
Which is precisely what has been done, and what the article refers to.

***Good point. Proceeding from your analogy of fraudulence, the only verified instance of fraud in LENR so far has been from MIT when they fudged their positive results. So, How would you treat anti-LENR assertions presented from such fraudsters?
