Of course it is kudos to Jed. Here some facts as I understand them: 1. I do not think Jed became a spokes person FOR DGT as they did not pay him as agreed. Seldom can you win support by mistreating people. I think that without knowing Jed (except from this sight) I can determine that he would not first publish a minor (money wise) dispute with DGT and then make up a reason their result is not true. He would take an unnecessary risk in doing so. Why not rather claim there result is false and discredit them if he could. (He will not get any money anyhow). No, I think there is no reason we have to make this in to a personal vendetta. 2. Is there different standards? No, of course not. I think, if they do not swiftly defend an accusation saying there measurements are faulty, then they have no defense Their results are faulty and their claims are non-existing. 3. Thus my conclusion is; 'DGT does not play in the LENR development'. Their result and methods does not warrant any comments. 4. Am I going to be wrong in December when they produce this rumored COP of >100? Not at all. Either they think they are fine being the only one on the planet who knows something, which nobody knows but they do not want to tell. Or they have found the way from having nothing today to something viable in December. In the first scenario I think we can agree that they have mislead everyone without comments (but with purpose) and thereby losing credibility. In the second case they are among other unknown, who have no comments. My main point is, why kill the messenger?
BTW I think Rossi and the new investors are making a mistake not revealing their plans. I do understand strategic reasons for not giving away details. However, as we talk about a revolutionary product easy and cheap to produce, why not tell the outlines for the future. I begin to wonder if there is engineering problems, which prevents them from revealing their marketing plans. This is how conspiracy rumors are born so just await them rather than a frank statement saying;' This is where we are and here is a problem we are working on. Then we will . . . . .' Why so much secrecy? Why not frankly say how things are (not revealing technical details)? This mystification pared with very sophisticated discussions about nuclear physics and QM makes any investor leery to take action.
