There is no need to discourage replication, but more to view it as the welcome joining in of another potential helper.
I didn't mean it! Of course it is an excellent thing having people engaged in replications and experiments, the point was that at the beginning we all were more focused on verifying the reality of the effect that to understand it. Your multitude of experiments for example, in my view are actual explorative experiments, not just "replications". Needless to say, in any cases exploratory research need to starts from simple replication...
I gave you two reason that teh figure of >10eV is wrong.
The answer was partial, because it didn't include all other observed cases, such as N2, O2 and other gases, that actually get ionised as well.
1) Most porous surfaces show Rydberg electrons that are bound below temperature level. E.g. n=60 or = few micro volt.
Please elaborate on that, providing a counter-experiment. Sometimes theoretician tend to be a little "apodictic": please give me experiment that can prove or disprove certain hypothesis, otherwise they can be classified just as "opinions".
2) In a solution the H-H separation voltage is 10x lower. All surfaces behave solution like if you don't work under e.g. Argon/Nitrogen as there always is air with hydrogen.
Sorry, I didn't get it...
Also, if the phenomenon is so explainable, can you provide other examples (known or specially made) where you get the same behaviors?
