The evidence for the existence of phlogiston is inconclusive too. The
newspaper report you quote was more than 2 years ago, computers have doubled
in power in that time; so how have things changed in the cold fusion field 
in
all that time? They haven't advanced one inch, zero nada zilch goose egg! 
It's
still inconclusive. Prediction time: I predict we will be in exactly
precisely the same situation 2 years from now, or 17. When something remains
inconclusive for that long it's time to move on. And the same could be said
of ESP bullshit.
