If so, how does that bear on Rossi's veracity? I'm not sure why attitudes matter. I dislike Rossi's approach to things intensely but if independent testing showed that he really had cold fusion, I'd be happy to acknowledge that he is a great inventor. It should be about facts and evidence rather than attitudes, don't you think? Krivit thinks Rossi actively tried to deceive him. That's reason enough not to like the guy. Do you know if there are any reports by Melich about Rossi's E-cat? That might be interesting to read. I tried translating from the Swedish PDF to English with Google. It's not entirely satisfactory but it does suggest that Kullander did consider Grabowski's paper or the same concerns from theory. If I understood him, Kullander concluded that Rossi experiments showed dry steam within 99% using the Testo meter. That's unlikely to be reliable because as has been said many times, the device was never designed to measure steam quality and is an HVAC instrument made for typical room temperatures in habitats. The translation suggests that Kullander also wants Rossi to do long term (perhaps independent) tests and that until those are done, doubt about his veracity is reasonable. At least that's what I got out of it. YMMV.
