THH,
My interpretation of your post is: KS is really talking about a commonly taught calorimetry technique (error bounds), but calls it CCS to give it more attention. Most LENR researchers neglect to do error bounds, so need to be told what to do, while most in the mainstream do them, so do not need to be reminded.
Is that about right? If so, it will be interesting to see the responses, because it sounds to me like a polite way to say they are not very good at what they do. That may be the case with some of the garage tinkerers, but many of these researchers (especially with the old guard) wrote books, or papers on how to do this stuff. Many others have lived a career in labs working with calorimetry.
