If I'm correct, then those who do, in fact, make claims of clear conclusion, either way, are merely displaying bias. It shouldn't be suprising, bias is normal for human beings. We tend to see what we want to see, and it's a constant effort for anyone interested in science to overcome this, and we fail, often."
This is the very point of whole discussion. Besides Levi's private 18 hour test, there is absolutely not even a single one valid test made. Therefore we can only trust or distrust Rossi as a person. It is just plain foolishness to suggest that Rossi is incompetent to make appropriate measurements that can be done with high school chemistry skills. If Rossi is malicious as a person, there are better and easier ways to fake results, e.g. cleverly placed heating element near thermometer sensor renders all calculations meaningless. —Jouni
