attn. cwatters : To a profane observer, an 'assumption' of LENR occurrence cannot be : it must be a scientific 'YES' or 'NO' with 100 % certainty, achieved from gaseous phase chromatography analysis of remnants after a Li-lon battery run-away combustion. If traces of nucleons are found that were not there within the original constituents, OK ... if not, not OK. It is as simple as that, no need for anybody to 'speculate', as Lewis Larson seems to be doing ?
