There’s heat and helium in my basement. One of them comes from a space heater. The other comes from the Radon decay chain.
***Yet ANOTHER straw argument. Explain the heat & helium in the LENR experiments. That is what is at issue here, not the heat nor helium in your basement. You won’t because you can’t. But you’ll come up with some other deflecting straw argument unworthy of a freshman humanities major.
First, I don't need to. YOU are making the affirmation that these are products of nuclear fusion. Therefore, the ENTIRE burden of proof is on you. Not me. I don't claim there is fusion.
Second, not a straw argument at all. It's the most likely source of the lack of reproducibility of these experiments and the artifacts seen: the heat is from ambient sources and the helium is already there. Just like in my basement.
