It is an outright lie. Krivit is doing everything he can to attack Rossi.

Alan understates the situation. "Seriously departing" is not strong enough. In case there are readers here who have not followed events: E&K first tested the machine, THEN they endorsed it. Krivit's statement is astounding. It is either terribly confused or an outrageous lie. What could he be thinking?!? Some people might claim that E&K did not do adequate testing, or that their methods were not good enough to support their conclusions. That is a legitimate difference of opinion. But it is clear that they themselves think these tests are sufficient to support the level of endorsement they made in NyTeknik. It is 100% clear that they did the tests first, then endorsed. Their endorsement was not unconditional. They left plenty of wiggle room for themselves in case Rossi turns out to be wrong. As they should; as any academic scientist would. - Jed
