I think it's a bit hasty to classify anything related to "cold fusion" as necessarily a scan and to be avoided at all costs. The science of it is not as outlandish as "infinite energy," there may be something there. But yes it any research needs to be in a credible, serious, peer reviewed manner.

In general it is an interesting subject and worthwhile investigating, but in this particular case it is a scam. I was just saying that some topics somehow attract scammers more than others. It is easier to sell "we have cold fusion", "or we have batteries with super long life" to a lottery winner than say some nano technology or genetic breakthrough. Everyone thinks they understand energy and batteries. Now the article talks about the feedback effect of this and that is if anyone tries to do legitimate research in these areas, they will have an upstream battle to fight to be accepted in the mainstream science community, specifically because of all these other charlatans.
