Look, I am hopeful he actually has 50x COP... But seriously folks. Thomas Darden had an impeccable reputation. He also went out on a limb and gave Rossi 11m plus USD.
Rossi, on the hand, has absolutely nothing but a pattern of fraud and deceit. 50x COP is an absolute crazy number when he could barely show anything realiably in any previous test. Let's hope it proves true, but at this point even the most ardent believer should be exceedingly skeptical until Rossi ponies up something real or we get some very very solid replications.
