It is necessary
to be a University Professor in Scientific matter. Prof. Kelly is
specialized in Environmental Engineering, as I remember.
Craig:
So I think Rossi is mistaken when he assigns George Kelly to the
University of New Hampshire. He may have met him there, but Kelly worked
for the Department of Energy at the time. . . .
Ah, that explains it. I mentioned this before, when I wrote:
Rossi is also careless and he gets facts wrong. He does not care about
details. He REALLY does not care about details, to an extent that most of
us find pathological. Take his webpage. He has a board of advisors listed
including a professor who does not exist . . .
By my standards, putting someone's name on your web site with the wrong
affiliation, and leaving the name there long after people advise you there
is no such person at that institution is an *extraordinary* thing to do.
Rossi considers it unimportant. As you see from his response, he is casual
about it.
It would incorrect to call this lying. He simply does not care whether he
is right or wrong. It is like asking me whether I paid $3.50 or $4.00 for a
gallon of milk. If I give the wrong answer, I am not lying. I am simply not
making the effort to recall the right answer because it is trivial matter.
In either case, this can be
confirmed with the contact information on Kelly's profile page, and I've
sent an email this morning to him. Rossi may also be embellishing the
idea that Dr. Kelly is an 'advisor'.
In his mind, Kelly is an adviser. I think he is sincere about this. You, or
I, or Kelly himself might not see it that way, but Rossi lives in his own
world. He sees things in ways that no one else does. This is both a
strength and a weakness.
