On second thought, I may have been a bit hasty in claiming that Rossi was disingenuous about his explanation of iron in the Cat-E reactor ash.
The majority of the iron might have come from the reaction vessel and produced by spattering. However, not saying that a minority part was iron as the active ingredient of the catalyst is not dishonest. Jesuit ethics (what president Clinton was famous for) states that silence of the truth is not lying.
