- In a recent posting I reminded Jed Rothwell that
-
- >"You posted, on behalf of Gene Mallove your colleague, a statement in early
- >1992 claiming that I had deliberately ignored in Too Hot To Handle important
- >positive data on neutrons that would have damaged my thesis, and that had
- >been sent to me by Dr. Worledge of EPRI prior to my book. This is utterly
- >false, as anyone can confirm by calling Worledge."
-
- Jed has replied:
-
- >>I called Dave Worledge last week, but he was not there. He must be out of
- >>town. He told Gene he sent a lot stuff to you. Maybe it got lost in the mail.
- >>Why don't you call him and ask for another copy? I gather that part of it
- >>described the work of Howard Menlove, of Los Alamos. Menlove did not make it
- >>into the index of THTH.
-
-
-
- So you called Worledge last week and he wasnt in. Keep calling until
- he is. It is over *six months* since you posted Mallove's reckless accusations.
-
-
- You suggest that the papers Mallove refers to might have been
- "Lost in the mail". Is it you or Mallove that has invented this?
- If you are going to be the postman for Gene Mallove, first ensure that
- what you are encouraged to post has at least some chance of being credible.
- Check your facts both of you. As I stated in my original objection to
- Mallove, Worledge sent me four papers, which I received; these were sent
- on 7 May 1991, four months AFTER the first appearance of Too Hot To Handle.
- Worledge did not send me papers prior to these; the accompanying letter
- from Worledge to me makes it clear that this is his first attempt to
- communicate papers to me: "Several of my colleagues have informed me that
- your book Too Hot To Handle contains many interesting and provocative
- discussions of the early cold fusion era --- etc".
-
- So "Lost in the Mail" is an excuse that should have been lost in the mail.
- Try again, but this time get Mallove to speak for himself.
-
-
- >>The issue is that you very deliberately ignore things. Even now, you are
- >>deliberately ignoring everything we know about - - conservation of energy
- >>- - and the roles of experimental evidence versus theory.
-
- After your attempt to post excuses for Mallove (he of the energy non-conserving
- 5Gev helium) it hardly seems worth reminding you that you have *not* explained
- where I said that theory rules over experiment.
