Eric. If he has something, let him show that he does through rigorous
testing.
AA. Why the hell should he? He doesn't owe you anything and it is not
in his interest to do prove it to academia. I rather doubt that would
be possible anyway, as they think LENR is impossible. Think Clarke's
Law. Any evidence of anomalous heat is measurement error.
Eric he seems to think that he is entitled to millions of dollars of
other people's money without doing the footwork necessary to merit that
kind of investment.
AA. He has to do enough to persuade his backers and he has clearly done
that. He has avoided the fraudsters route of taking money from a
gullible public although he obviously had the ability to that if he had
wanted to.
Like Jed, you conclude he is guilty until proven innocent.

My conclusion is that Rossi's behavior has been abominable, and that
he shouldn't be given a free pass. If he has something, let him show

shortcuts and to undermine any tests that are carried out, in private
or in public. And he seems to think that he is entitled to millions

the courts will decide, thankfully.
Rossi has no obligation to substantiate his public claims to us in the
audience. But neither do we have an obligation to apply anything
other than a scientific standard to what he has claimed. And in that
court he has repeatedly fallen short.

We will see soon enough. I'm hoping that the QuarkX test will
give positive results. If that happens it will alter the game. I
gather that you are on Jed's side that the E-Cat doesn't work. I
don't consider that proven.
