That said, I think the anomalous heating happens so often it demands some explanation. But cold fusion it ain't.

Sniff, sniff... here's smelling something. I'm not big fan of sonofusion, as I'm finding it as a somewhat unpractical approach - but I can feel the fabrication of reasons, why to stop this research ASAP. The reasons published appears as a highly subjective, personally motivated for me. The latest success of cold fusion is reported here - who has attempted to reproduce it? Do we have a cold fusion energy enough to be approved to waste a research potential by such way?
