[Vo]:Second Piantelli paper

2011-08-16 Thread Peter Gluck
My dear Friends,

In his essay, Prof. Piantelli demonstrates that the Scientific
Experimental Method is a sine qua non condition for serious
research and discovery.

You will see later how he has done this in practice for the new discipline
of Transition Metals LENR.
PLEASE find an interesting Piantelli link at the end.

'Cause you are the friends of this Blog, I let you know about a provocative
writing re the Crisis published here this morning by my long time newsletter
blog e-collaborator. Ms. Georgina Popescu- who is a bank director in Vienna
Austria. But this is not relevant in this case, only her ideas.

Thank you for your attention,
Peter

I really do not understand why people trust Piantelli if they do not trust
Rossi.

Some reasons:

Piantelli has done better calorimetry than Rossi.

Piantelli has better academic credentials.

He has published peer-reviewed papers.

He does not publish a blog with inflammatory assertions. He is not 
flamboyant. Rossi's style makes some people mistrust him.


I myself do not find these reasons compelling, but it is hard to ignore 
them. You are supposed to judge a claim strictly on its own merits, 
rather than by looking that the personality and actions of the claimant. 
That is hard to do in Rossi's case. He seems to go out of his way to 
make himself look bad -- or at least, to make himself look 
controversial. He seems to thrive on controversy. Piantelli has a more 
traditional, staid academic demeanor which inspires more confidence.

But Focardi assited Rossi, just like he assited Piantelli. If people think
Focardi could be fooled by a demonstration of huge power excess he could
well be get wrong the measurment of a demonstration of low power excess.

I agree this does not make sense. I was only pointing out that Rossi has
credibility problems because of his personality. People develop strange
ideas about him, such as the notion expressed here that he has a real eCat
that produces actual anomalous heat, but he also has a fake eCat which he
showed to Krivit. This makes no sense. Why would he bother to make a fake
machine if he has a real one?!?

People distrust Rossi so much, they feel compelled to make up improbable
scenarios in which he is doing something dishonest. Actually, there is no
evidence that his experiments are dishonest. Some of accusations seem
dishonest, such as his statement that Defkalion never tested his device.

What it boils down to is that Rossi rubs people the wrong way, so they go
looking for reasons to dismiss his claims.

Anyone who believes Piantelli's results has good reason to believe Rossi's.

Jed, I just finished reading Martin Ford's The Lights in the Tunnel,
the book you brought to the Vort's attention not long ago.

http://www.thelightsinthetunnel.com/

Thanks for mentioning it. I highly recommend reading it as well.

I suspect Ford's take on what's in store for our economy is closer to
the mark than many realize.
