I was trying to show that Rossi's behavior has not been that of a reasonable person, as seen in part through the patent applications that have been filed. It was a weak point, with many counterarguments that can be made, and so the point is not one that needs to be pursued in detail. But it is worth considering. AA.

A press release dated April 7 says that "Industrial Heat has worked for over three years to substantiate the results claimed by Mr. Rossi from the E-Cat technology – all without success." [1]. That means that from what they've seen Rossi's stuff doesn't work, or it doesn't work to the extent that Rossi claims. Can we conclude that IH believe that *none* of Rossi's technology is real and has ever worked, apart from what they themselves have taken a look at? That's a question for IH to clarify.
