Read this carefully: Anyone can say with confidence that I, Jed, speak Japanese better than Donald Trump does. That is a fact. You can easily confirm it. You can read Donald Trump's biography on line. You can learn all about him. One thing you can be sure of is that he does not speak Japanese at all. If he did speak it, he would brag about that. On the other hand, anyone who knows me will know that I do speak Japanese. In other words, when we are talking about a narrowly defined technical skill, and we know something about two people, we can say with confidence one is more skilled than the other. I knew how Rossi does calorimetry, and I know how the people at I.H. do it, and I can say with confidence the latter are better at it. PLEASE NOTE I am not talking personalities, motivation, honesty, or anything else. I am talking about skill in calorimetry. I do not know Rossi at all. > Whereas I do know him, and I know a lot about his work, and his skills. I also know about Penon's skills. > How you know that he will not publish is a mystery to me. > It is a mystery to you, but not to me. But you exaggerate. I did not say *I know* he will not publish. I said *I doubt* he will. > I think he will or then he will lose credibility in this case. > I expect he will lose credibility, but it will take time. I expect he will continue stalling and making excuses for months. > If it is hard to negotiate with or not depends on who negotiates.

He is difficult to deal with. I have dealt with him, and I concur. - Jed
