If the results are certain, then it makes no difference whether the COP is 2 or 0.02. It would be insane to abandon this research just because the COP happens to be low in some cases. We know that the effect often occurs with no input power, with a COP of infinity. If that can happen once, after we learn to control the effect, it can happen every time. The COP is a canard. It is of no importance at this stage in the research. Worrying about the COP now is like fretting about the need for retractable landing gear on airplanes in 1904, six months after the first flight at Kitty Hawk. There are a thousand issues more important than this, and when the other issues are solved -- especially control -- we will have any COP we want.
