I think that a restatement of the above observations is that
MIT, in an effort to counter the irrational hysteria surrounding
the so-called 'cold nuclear fusion', has demanded strict scientific 
evidence and a reasonable theory to support the expensive research
that would have to go into it.

On this net we have seen Tom Droege, a fine scientist, make a few
mistakes that led him to erroneously believe that he had positive results.
But he checked his work and found his own errors. Notoya, with all due
respect, certainly did not. And this is the sort of thing that MIT
doesn't want to be associated with.

And it seems imminently reasonable to me.
