I think it is likely the test will be worthless - probably faked in some way by Rossi - because Rossi has the reputation of being a liar, and because LENR, if it were real, would have more going for it than 23 years of anecdotes and laboratory curiosities. That seems pretty evenhanded to me. > You have only suggested that Levi is > corrupt and that he is willing to destroy his career in return for a few > thousand euros. If you believe this you are poor judge of human behavior. You are confusing me with somebody else; I have no opinion of Levi one way or the other. > > People have now used industry-standard power company techniques to confirm > Rossi's claims. It is case closed. There is nothing more to discuss. Then GE must be begging Rossi to accept millions from them just to have a little business chat, because if the test has truly confirmed Rossi's claims, then GE, with the engineering brainpower it has, must have recognized it as well as you have. > If you insist on evaluating not only the technical issues also with > reference to the reputations of the researchers... Again, you are confusing me with somebody else: I know little and have said nothing about the reputations of the researchers.
