Never mind the number of atoms and the number of photons involved. I'm now looking at the per-fusion-event balance. We are fusing atoms with a tiny fraction of the mass of modern ones but getting out photons with quite a large fraction of the modern energy. That's where the books don't balance. This is bad.

But, yet again, if you DO balance the books on energy, the emerging photons are infra-infra-infrared, vastly longer wave than now. No eyes on Earth could possibly see using them.

If you DO balance the books on energy, the emerging photons are infra-infra-infrared. What you mean is, if the sun produces the same amount of energy as now, the photons must have much greater wavelength, completely off the visible spectrum. Well, of course, but we've agreed instead that the sun is producing much more energy in the past than now, and the redshift is only minor and for other reasons.
