C. Edmund Wright said: "Every single big idea and significant development in the history of time was criticized by the gutless nay sayers in the beginning ..."

Let me help you with the logic here.

Here's a similar statement: "Not every single idea in the history of time which was criticized by nay sayers in the beginning turned out to be a big, significant development."

Now let's consider numbers: Which is larger? The number of big, significant ideas? Or the number of criticized ideas that turned out not to be big, significant ideas?

I'd guess the latter outnumber the former by a factor of thousands if not tens of thousands or more.

As others have said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". I haven't seen anything regarding commercialization of LENR which even qualifies as "ordinary evidence". Rossi's background disqualifies him forever from being able to supply even "scant evidence".

That’s true…the percentages are with the notion that it will not be a big idea….that’s what makes it gutless to naysay it….and so you are not further confused, naysaying is NOT THE SAME….repeat NOT THE SAME as a thoughtful statement that something may not work.

Think next time…
