Well, trust me, what drives most experiments is not hypotheses but "this is strange" results.
"it's arguable whether "is cold fusion possible?" is a valid hypothesis, because currently there is no accepted reason,"
I am not a nuclear physicist, but my chemistry is good enough to know that it should not be possible.
But take into consideration that Fleischmann was a pretty good chemist. Possible he fucked up. Looking backwards likely. But discussion is possible only based on date. Not believes what should or should not be possible.
