Nelson wanted to see a longer demo. Apparently he would have been able to do without sleep, or would have stood shifts with a colleague. Presumably, Rossi, who wants to make money, knew that the observer, or one of the observers, was a NASA engineer. To do a demo for somebody like Nelson, who, if convinced, might run back to Washington and recommend that his bosses spend a couple of million to get hold of the amazing device, it seems like human nature to put on the best show possible, but Rossi could not be bothered. Strange.
