Rossi, from his announcement, never trusted them with the catalyst.
Therefore, if they did discover the catalyst, they did not obtain

to prove that they stole the process.
What makes you think there is a catalyst?
I don't. However, lots of people have worked with Ni-H, without such
striking results as was claimed. If there are improved results --
that's "if" -- then there is probably something being done that
hasn't been disclosed.
All we have is Rossi's word for it.
That's right.
The alleged "catalyst" has provided a very convenient means for
preventing anyone else from event attempting a real replication. As
such, it's been a powerful tool for Rossi ... whether it actually
exists or not.
It's a completely feeble excuse. There was no open and sane reason to
disallow "black box" tests.
