Dichotomus keys never really illustrate reality. There are many 'in between' answers you don't cover. By far the most likely scenario playing out is simply a 'negotiation' over the payment of that spectacular $89 million in hard cash! Bult there is a very real possibility that all this is part of a long running conspiracy to keep cold fusion from becoming deployed and thus making stranded assets of all of the world of other energy resources and technologies! http://atom-ecology.russgeorge…sformational-energy-tech/

Of course one simple explanation for all this is that IH does not have the $89 million and thus could not make the required payment. $89 million in cash is a very large sum in the cold fusion world, in any venue. Such sums are almost always contested and delayed in business and industry requiring all manner of posturing by the parties before the 'settlement' is reached.

"Quantum Tunneling in Breather ‘Nano-colliders’ " - http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1503/1503.09119.pdf

ABSTRACT
In many crystals with sufficient anharmonicity, a special kind of lattice vibrations, namely, discrete breathers (DBs) can be excited either thermally or by external triggering, in which the amplitude of atomic oscillations greatly exceeds that of harmonic oscillations (phonons). Coherency and persistence of large atomic oscillations in DBs may have drastic effect on quantum tunneling due to correlation effects discovered by Schrödinger and Robertson in 1930. These effects have been applied recently to the tunneling problem by Vysotskii et al, who demonstrated a giant increase of sub-barrier transparency during the increase of correlation coefficient at special high-frequency periodic action on quantum system. In the present paper, it is argued that DBs present the most natural and efficient way to produce correlation effects due to time-periodic modulation of the potential well width (or the Coulomb barrier width) and hence to act as breather ‘nano-colliders’ (BNC) triggering [lexicon]low energy nuclear reactions[/lexicon] (LENR) in solids. Tunneling probability for deuterium (D-D) fusion in ‘gap DBs’ formed in metal deuterides is shown to increase with increasing number of oscillations by ~190 orders of magnitude resulting in the observed LENR rate at extremely low concentrations of DBs. Possible ways of engineering the nuclear active environment based on the present concept are discussed.
