This is a painful problem with skeptics, who in fact prevent sincere questioner to think straight from evidences.
Rossi have a controversial story about Petrol dragon, but nothing definitive except some loose behavior with taxes and environmental regulations. For the US Army TEG projet, there is strange things, but agains nothing definitive. For many previous test, there was many questions, but all was so badly done that it could not be definitive. Krivit, who is a sincere LENR reporter, with a tendency to amplify the pathos and develop conspiracy theories, noticed a very important fact when Rossi refused him to see too many things on his reactor... whether it was IP protection, or stage magic hiding, is again an open question. More seriously conspiracy theories, often unrealistic, hide real problems. I remember from the Defkalion demo that Gamberale later denounced the many conspiracy theories on electric circuits, and the self confidence of skeptics, while there was simpàly missing data. Hopefully Luca completed the file and make the conclusion clear. Before we have good data, skeptics should simply have raised the possibility of a problem, and supporters raise the possibility of a real phenomenon, instead of both being sure of their theory. For Lugano test, there was initial erroneous theories (inverted clamps) against success , until Thomas found the problem of window and total emissivity discrepancy, confirmed by MFMP test. He is still unable to admit the inverted clamp theory was just wrong. For isotopic test there was the stage magic theory, assuming Rossi was a prestidigitator, but it fogged the question. the key problem in the test is simply that what was extracted from the reactor is probably not the same as what was put in. The problem is that many people concluded while not leaving the question open... open on both directions. Concluding too early push contradictors (like me) to radicalize on the opposite. This does not helps me to make my own opinion. 2016-05-23 4:37 GMT+02:00 OrionWorks - Steven Vincent Johnson < orionwo...@charter.net>: > The following commentary is not an attempt on my part to justify, or > endorse Rossi's recent professional behavior. > > > > While some might suggest we need to apologize to Mr. Krivit I feel no > desire to endorse let alone enable investigative reporting tactics that > repeatedly exploit phrases like "convicted fraudster" or "convicted white > collar criminal" to characterize Rossi's prior business activities.
