Has there ever been any suggestion that Pons and Fleishman were purposely fabricating their results? I was always skeptical because nobody else was able to get their results, but I thought even Pons and Fleishman admitted that lack of reproducibility was a problem with their work.
Yes, from the first. Primarily because some of their graphs of neutron flux supposedly changed (to fit the theory better) between meetings.

Pons and Fleishman are fine. They've taken their work to France. Pity.
