I don't believe that Rossi "is" fusing nickel and hydrogen. IMO, that is misdirection to lead any competitors off on a wild goose chase. I've seen at least one article that agrees with that view (I "think" it was from Dr. Godel at Brillouin). He believes (as do I) that the final product in Rossi's case is He4, and lays out the scenario by which that happens.
I see, so when I mention the unlikelihood of Rossi's lies, that makes me a Luddite.
Thanks, now it all makes sense.
