You, Ahern, and the other skeptics have not addressed the reasons why a large mistake with the IR camera is unlikely. So I assume you have no rebuttal. Until you do respond I will assume the issue is settled and there is no problem. Are you blind – or you are not listening? There is a massive problem. Ahern is an expert with pyrometry and high temperature measurement. A pyrometer is the only way to test high temperature accurately. The IR is completely deficient in this situation. Ahern was doing this kind of testing as far back as when Rossi was operating the Petrodragon scam. No one would ever use an IR camera in this situation unless they have the intent to deceive. Especially when the IR camera was NOT PROPERLY CALIBRATED. If the camera had been calibrated to 1400 C instead of 500 C it would have shown the same ~3.5 OU on the dummy load as was later seen on the active load! The fact that Rossi would not permit calibration to 1400 C is fully indicative of the fact the he knew this would be discovered before it ever got off the ground. Please – NEVER suggest again that this issue is settled unless you mean it is settled that Rossi has been caught in the act of deceiving the good folks at Elforsk, IH and elsewhere. Jones
