No. What you said, many times, categorically, was that it was impossible
to measure the output without knowing where the generated heat went.
If as you now agree it was possible, why didn't IH insist on doing it?
I don't buy that ii was Rossi's refusal. The ERV could have been

Rossi has alway wanted to run his own manufacturing operation. Inventing a
LENR reactor is just a step to that goal. It is inevitable that Rossi and
IH would come to loggerheads over LENR reactor production. Rossi wants to
call the shots. It was inevitable that Rossi and IH would part ways. Rossi
