In other words, somebody initiated a study project into reviewing Cold Fusion. The person or persons conducting said study performed some literature research. They made a few notes and comments at the time of their reading the research notes, and now report their comments. No attention to detail or complete top-down or bottom-up analysis has been made. No description of limiting factors in the study's scope have been made. In general, the person/s performing the study might have a college degree in a science or engineering discipline but lack the ability to publish findings or even a research paper.

Regardless of preliminary qualifications and implicit due diligence for proper research, a paper is being tendered as a deliverable for said study which doesn't really address anything of quantifiable, identifiable, measurable, or repetitively describable format. Persons paid to perform scientific research like to get their money for nothing and their chicks for free, also. And BTW, ongoing state and local politics sometimes address broadbased topics which happen to touch upon one of the same physical terms seen in this study, namely 'energy'.

IMHO, the study isn't worth the paper its printed on. Worse, it took funding which is difficult to obtain to actually study said reported phenomenon and fails to render scientific professional due diligence in its deliverables.

You are absolutely wrong with your malicious ad hominem.

These people are hot fusion people, semiconductor physicists, and reputable scientists.

You have typical pathological skepticism in that you talk and condemn,
but neither read nor have serious knowledge.

You obviously have your reasons.
