Is a Bulletproof E-Cat Report Possible?

Today on the Journal of Nuclear Physics a reader told Andrea Rossi that in
some ways he was his own worst enemy because he has left open the door
where his harshest critics can criticize him. He mentioned specifically
that the Levi et. al report left open a question about a hidden source of
DC power because of the lack of control over input power. Rossi responded
by explaining how the current testers have made modifications based on
criticisms of the last report:
“The issue of the lack of control of the direct current arrived into the
reactor’s resistances is true, as we have seen, but nobody has thought ,
when the report has been written, to check this point, that was totally out
of the minds of all, when the test protocol has been made. As you surely
know ( I can see that you have some source of information) new report is in
preparation, for a long run test, and this time the Professors of the Third
Independent Party have taken advantage of the experience of the last year
test, and have considered all the observations made after the test of 2013
from all the Readers of the report that made comments about it and
criticized it. The issue of the measurement of the direct current, for
example, has beet taken in strong consideration, as well as many other
particulars. Two factors have strongly improved the test made this year:
the experience that the Professors made in 2013 and meditated upon for 1
year in the particulars, also studying all the critics they received, and
the length of the test, that allowed a deep knowledge of the operation.
Another important factor of difference is the fact that the test has been
made in a neutral laboratory, not of our property, where the energy source
( PLUG) was not of ours and the Professors made the set up from the plug to
the control box.”
It seems then that there have been important modifications made to the test
setup in the current regimen, and one would expect the testers will have,
as far is reasonably possible, eliminated the possibility for people to
make accusations that the E-Cat is receiving some kind of hidden power
source.
The last test was done on Rossi’s own premises — this one is apparently in
a neutral location — and as Rossi has mentioned above, the testers have
been involved in constructing the experimental setup. It all sounds very
positive to me, and I am expecting this to be a much improved test compared
to the first one.
But my question here is, regardless of how careful the testers are — is it
possible to create a really bulletproof test that will silence the critics?
I would like to think, yes — but my life experience tells me no. It seems
that there is usually a segment of critics in all fields of life who will
find one way or another to try to justify their position, and I suspect
this will be the case with the E-Cat report.
I think it is great that the ‘professors’, have been taking the objections
raised about last year’s test seriously. I think it will lead to a more
convincing test — and my hope is that many people will find it convincing
enough to start to take the E-Cat more seriously, and that many people will
climb off the fence following the publication of this report (assuming it’s
positive). But I won’t be surprised if the harshest critics find some other
justification to carry on their opposition and raise objections. In the end
I don’t think that matters very much — because eventually I expect that
working E-Cats will be demonstrated to work well in the real world, but
until them, I am not expecting that all the critics will be silenced.
