Even if Dr. Bussard over estimated scaling by 10% or 20% ...... IMHO, we can then, at that point, pursue the "Q", a tad more confident.
If Bussard's scaling laws were off 10-20% but correct otherwise, compensation would be trivial, since we're still talking r^5 or r^7 effects.

I agree, it would be trivial.
I like the p-B11 resonance peak at 50 KV acceleration. In2 years we'll know.
