"You repeat that 14,000 figure, it came from a fellow at the Chinese Academy of Science, who gathered it from claims in the literature on the subject, without the least ability to know whether it's true of not."

And here we have another tactic of the anti-LENR skeptopath. In this case, disparagement of the researcher and the organization he worked for. After all, the "Chinese Academy of Science" is a less than worthy organization, and anyone they employ must, by inference, be incompetent.

The reality is that the CAS's scientists are probably the equal of the US NAS, and perhaps better. And the article in question is A REVIEW ARTICLE, which is intended to be a thorough summation of the state of the science at a specific point in time. What a REAL researcher does with such an article is to "read through" and look up the original papers referenced. No single reviewer (or group of reviewers) can possibly do an in-depth check of every paper referenced....even if they work for the US NAS.

"It's a meaningless figure, totally."

Yup, that is the meme that you and the rest of the skeptopaths are selling today and every day.

I see the usual skeptics all running in small circles. Thanks for the article.
