Didn't he publish sufficient instructions to allow for independent replication of a claim of achieving reliable, if very modest, production of heat? Or do I have the wrong impression?

Piantelli isn't making media interviews and announcing an imminent 1MW deal that will then mean polywell has no further purpose.
Therefore we do not put any gum-flapping effort into it, else where do we stop with every other scientific bit of effort that isn't claiming anything.
You never put all your eggs in one basket, and there is no silver bullet. Many diverse and promising energy systems should be funded though the prototype stage of development.that will then mean polywell has no further purpose.
Your fear that a cold fusion reactor will kill polywell is not well founded because no one knows what the future will bring and energy production is too important to be left to only one provider.
