To promote credibility in that company. As such the report title, "ECAT – A novel and environmentally friendly LENR-based energy technology", sets our expectations that it will reveal some "hard" evidence to support the title yet all the report does is re-hash existing claims and assertions most of which come from Rossi himself. To then go on and from the first person assert that the promoter of the technology is "kind" reveals either naiveté or bias and your comments about his history do not inspire confidence in the report, his objectivity, or his accumen. I know, I know ... I'm being harsh but this report smacks of boosterism more than anything else and, as such, merely makes the field of LENR even more hype-ridden. [mg]
