Seems awfully early to me, particularly since Rossi didn't really didn't start making noises till 2011.

Ah, but Jed HAS openly speculated on this very matter in the past! See: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg56388.html ...where back in March 2011, Jed stated: >> [Rossi] does not want to say outright "I do not want too much >> credibility because that will encourage competition" but I >> suspect that is the strategy. Other people, such as Patterson, >> have used the same strategy. Patterson himself told me this. Following up on this train of thought... While I basically agree with Jed's assumption (and experience) that increased credibility ought to make it easier to borrow money and sell products, it seems to me that neither Rossi nor Defkalion need to borrow money right now. I'm under the impression that both Rossi and Defkalion currently have sufficient cash reserves infused from private investors to carry on with their very private R&D work. If that truly is the case, they have absolutely no need to enhance their credibility particularly when they are still in an extremely vulnerable R&D stage of trying to enhance the reliability and stability of the reaction. While good progress has been made, I'm still under the impression that the reaction is still highly unstable. That would mean their prototypes aren't ready for commercialization plans on any kind of a large scale. If so. best to stay under the radar of public scrutiny and continue tinkering. While I may not necessarily agree 100% with the following conclusion, it does seem to me that maintaining tepid credibility in the public eye IS a sound strategic maneuver. It helps keep potential competition from meddling in their private affairs. Too much outside meddling inevitably translates into losing control of the current business goal strategy where I would imagine they envision themselves situated at the top of the financial pyramid. Granted, many of us in the peanut gallery honestly wish a few more potential outside competitors would begin to meddle in their affairs more aggressively - to quicken the R&D pace. I especially think this would be a useful state of affairs considering the fiasco that recently happened when Rossi attempted to demonstrate his device to NASA officials - with less than stellar results. When one hears about botched demonstrations like that happening, all at NASA's beckoning, and it seems pretty obvious to me that Rossi still has a highly temperamental & fickle device that is not prone to sing on queue in a very reliable manner. Setting my own wishes aside, one has to understand how Rossi or Defkalion are likely perceive themselves in the big scheme of things. The point being they want to STAY in the big picture. Under the circumstances, if I was vying for a big slice of the future energy business I sure wouldn't be interested in enhancing my public credibility either... not just yet. After the reaction has been stabilized... when the prototype can reliably generate enough steam to run a generator and produce enough juice to both self-sustain AND power many outside devices, THEN it's time to increase one's public credibility. I've gotten the impression that when it comes to product development much of the strategic positioning involved is based on the fine art of bluffing. I suspect few have ever won at poker by openly attempting to sell an impression to poker players at the table that they are holding four-of-a-kind, particularly if they really are. Under the circumstances, the best way to increase potential earnings is to market an impression that one is gullible, stupid, or perhaps even a habitual cheater, and then give out as much circumstantial evidentiary "rope" as can be ravenously consumed by pseudo-skeptics so that they eventually hang themselves with it.
