RE: Your comment about cold fusion makes no sense

Comment comment by scottb on 05 October 2007

Sorry, but his comment made perfect sense.

The mainstream physics community doesn't accept the conjectures surrounding the Fleischmann-Pons experiment. You, as a representative of a minority dissent group, think otherwise. But the statement that his comment "makes no sense" is a lie - you present your claims as if they're accepted by the community, when they're not.

For those of us who aren't physicists, the responsible interpretation of this situation is that the mainstream community is right and you're wrong. In that context, wyldeling's statement is entirely sensible.

Now, it happens that he is a physicist, and presumably capable of evaluating the data for himself. Personally, I'd be happy to hear what he has to say about the stuff on your site, if he feels it's worth his time to review. To me, it looks like a pretty much archetypal pseudo-science site. Lots of strident claims with ambiguous data.
