"Strictly speaking, doesn't the term "cold fusion" refer specifically to the Pons & Fleischman electrochemical work? That's what I was getting at before."

Initially, it probably was---but, over time, it pretty much morphed into meaning "anything done on a benchtop with simple, cheap, apparatus" :^)

"anything done on a benchtop with simple, cheap apparatus"

Ahh. A neat, concise definition - works for me!
