The principal reason that skeptics raise the possibility of faking is simply that no independent test of any Rossi or Defkalion device has ever been reliably reported on -- despite that it is cheap, easy and safe for Rossi to have it done. It is not because they are late. The last demo is criticized because the buyer is anonymous and because Rossi invited scientists and reporters and never let them see any sort of measurement except for 3 sheets of paper after the test was concluded. It is not because it lacked power. Nobody really knows what the output power was. It was all what Rossi or the anonymous customer's engineer said and nothing else.
