You do not know much about Edison and the history of how he actually
demonstrated the light bulb. See the message I just uploaded. Edison's
demonstrations were, in fact, less convincing than Rossi's, and they
might easily have been faked. He gave his investors heartburn, and he
infuriated the scientific establishment, which called him a fake, a liar
and a charlatan. They had good reasons to be angry with him. He ignored
them and went straight for the money.
Does that sound familiar?
People like Edison and Rossi have been upsetting academic scientists for
centuries. They don't give a damn. They are in business to make money,
not to impress ivory tower scientists.
