After that, he may have felt that Dave was not following his argument. I don't know for sure and I have no opinion on that -- I wish and would have preferred it if he had made the assumptions underlying the model, the identity of the software, and the parameters of the simulation more clear but I'm not him. I don't control him. My opinion on the modeling is that it's probably good enough to cast a doubt on the Rossi and Lewan data of October 6 -- a doubt which is so easily resolved in the real world by a proper experimental design and a second much longer experiment, that the model itself is not worth arguing at length about. BTW, that is also what NASA officially wrote about the event specifically and about Rossi in general (as quoted by Krivit). My informant's reluctance is no justification or excuse for Jed's failure to supply proper citations for his, as usual, exorbitant and florid claims about "life after death" cells that run but we seem never to know how long or making how much power, how it was verified and independently replicated. It's also no excuse for Aussie Guy's claims which make it seem as if everything with Rossi and him is a done deal and all of it is happening soon -- until he reveals there is no contract, no delivery date, and no deal at all. Maybe Aussie should become an anonymous client to get a better delivery position? Rossi seems to prefer that type of customer. As for the rest of your remarks, I am very tempted to reply as rudely as you but out of respect for the others, I will resist the impulse, with some difficulty.
