To which the reply might be, "but your paper didn't say anything about that". To which, "we thought it obvious" (the mathematics professor's favorite response).<br /><br />Then Team 2 would go back and re-run the experiment.<br /><br />It is certainly true that some experimenters are better than others. On the other hand, diligence can often equal skill and luck.<br /><br />Another approach to the question: is there a mathematicl theory that would predict LENR (the way Einstein's math predicted HENR)?ZZMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913899667726940233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-51722666637000921052012-10-12T10:10:41.322-07:002012-10-12T10:10:41.322-07:00DEar Yannis

That flashed up to me well known old things from game theory/statistical decision theory (as per J. von Neumann/J. Nash). There are only 3 basic ways to make such decisions under uncertainty based on such methodologies:<br /><br />Minimizing the maximum loss cost (minimax critiria), which is followed manly by conservative people such as in "main stream/academia"<br /><br />Maximizing the minimum gain (maximin critiria), which is followed by gamblers or opportunists<br /><br />Minimizing the lost opportunity cost, which is performed by the rare brave people, such like you, living in this planet.<br /><br />(off course there several other criteria in between these three, but basically these are the major).<br /><br />One of the big opportunities at this moment is to get as much as more people understand what you are really telling us with this essay, as far as the cost of any one more lost opportunity in this field maybe will be to to heavy for mankind to carry. <br /><br />Thank you for such beautiful and deep piece<br /><br />YannisJohn Hadjichristoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745216633198255742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-74478277390844831012012-10-12T06:34:26.090-07:002012-10-12T06:34:26.090-07:00You are really nice, dear Doc!
