For example, as Lewan described, Rossi has a good quality handheld temperature sensor which can hold up to four thermocouples, and which can record the data on an SD card. But he used only two of the thermocouple connections and he did not insert an SD card. So, he had a meter with a good combination of features that could have made a recording of the data, but he did not use it. Lewan had to manually write down the values. (Soon after that test, I pointed out this situation here at this forum. I was upset!) This is why I do not trust Rossi's evaluations of his own work. I only trust independent verification. Fortunately, there have been some good independent verification test, by Ampenergo, Elforsk, and others. I think Rossi sometimes does the tests correctly. I have heard that from people who visited him. But even in these cases he does not describe the experiment or the instruments in enough detail, so we do not know whether he did it right or not. - Jed
