From: Bob Higgins * * Of course, differential analysis of Rossi's Lugano fuel vs. ash is very questionable due to the likely situation of the reactor having been pre-loaded with some materials. [This was not a Rossi "deception"; he just didn't bother to bring up this fact, nor was he obliged to.]
Not to quibble, Bob - since without your careful analysis of the huge thermal measurement errors, it would not be so crystal clear that Lugano is junk. But even if there was no obligation to be truthful vis-à-vis a general audience, since the report was not published in a reputable journal - one suspects that Levi and his crew are rather indignant at being made fools by Rossi. Their reputations are soiled and they may never live that fiasco down. And … as to the extent of any obligation to be honest – don’t forget that this report was said to have been filed with USPTO in support of one of Rossi’s applications … and possibly used by Rossi as a milestone in his contract with his funder. Neither of them would look favorably on the notion that it was not a deception, if that is indeed the situation.
