Dear Bruce. You are an unutterable snob. Take that as a compliment.
This is not snobbery. I am pointing out completely ordinary intellectual standards that the entire LENR community should be supporting if they want their subject taken seriously.
Posting something or other on a preprint service can be worthwhile if, in the end, it gives rise to an actual published work subjected to real peer review. But it is not worthwhile if it is used to lend a faux aura of science to poor work, or nonsense, or malevolent fakery. If this is what happens, then it is literally pseudoscience.
No one takes ResearchGate or other preprint services seriously as ultimate destinations for genuine science. Look at the so-called Swedish Professors who "published" a study on Rossi's fraudulent device on the ArXive.org repository. When legitimate questions were raised about this work, and when outright fraud by Rossi was suspected, did any of them address the concerns or publish anything notifying people that the work might not be valid? No. They just shut up about it and slunk away. Why? Because none of them see this as a genuine publication. Nothing is actually at stake. If they had actually published in a real journal and then failed to reveal a possible fraud underlying it, they would all have been at risk of serious academic sanctions from their respective universities ... even up to dismissal. No risk of that here though. In their judgement a preprint isn't worth defending. They are right too!
Writing a real scientific paper is hard work. Fighting it through peer review to publication is just as hard. Wyttenbach definitely needs help writing and if you are doing that then more power to you. But why go through that hard work unless your intention is to end up with a real publication instead of something pseudo?
