Jarek: Give up!
Indeed it seems hopeless - there is needed something really huge to wake up physicists from this religious trans and finally return to the currently forbidden missing basic questions - like trying to understand dynamics hidden behind the quantum probability clouds, or spatial structure of fields (mainly EM) building electron and other particles ... instead of just being satisfied with "shut up and calculate", smeared indivisible elementary charge, or definition of electron as just effect of creation operator ... like creationists waking up from being satisfied with "god made it" explanation and starting asking question about the hidden mechanisms.
I hoped cold fusion will be this reason - the only way to get these proton close enough in such conditions requires electron remaining between them - what requires much better understanding of its dynamics than as just huge quantum probability blob.
Fortunately there are also emerging other possibilities for this slap in the face of physics society, like what all news are now reporting: the "impossible drive" NASA claims to confirm: http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/full/10.2514/1.B36120

It's a closed resonant chamber which is believed to produce thrust - the main hypothesis in the paper is that the momentum transfer is made by pilot wave, they cite Couder-Fort walking droplets (this thread is based on).
Maybe it will take it to the mainstream - also to ask about trajectories of particles piloted by these waves, like elementary charge of electron.
Let us have hope and fight with this physicists version of creationism - ask the forbidden questions about physics hidden behind the quantum probability clouds.
