Sorry BJ, while it is true that there have been attempts to refute my propositions, none have been successful.  Also it is undoubtedly true that the cold fusion community has attempted to ignore my comments, using strawmen arguments and ad hominem attacks to justify their actions.  But we all know those aren't valid reasons to ignore technical criticisms.  So the net result is that the field continues to exist on supposition and blind faith.  To date, I haven't seen any conclusive evidence from the field.
