It doesn't look like IH had a single technical person so why do you
think they could have contributed anything to the plant design or
operation? They ultimately hired Murray, but lacking tech expertise
they hired someone with the wrong experience. Likewise, it seems that
they were unable to understand if the plant was working and if it
wasn't, do something about it.

Whether or not this happened, there's a more general point that should
be apparent to anyone who has had a chance to read all of the
documents filed so far. Leonardo made zero effort to involve IH in the
planning and execution of the alleged GPT, and at no point was there
an effort to persuade them of its validity. We are even given to
understand that IH had objected to the Doral business being construed
as the GPT. This should put anyone on notice that the territory we're
in here is not normal territory but instead Alice in Wonderland
territory. If Leonardo believed that there was a real GPT underway
(not a sure thing as far as I can tell), they will have been
proceeding under the understanding that it was a purely formal thing,
to check off some check boxes. All of this is independent of the
actual manner in which the alleged GPT was carried out -- whether a
shoddy job was done, or whether it was a bona fide test demonstrating
~ 1MW power for a year -- which one gathers is a topic of earnest
debate on E-Cat World.
More likely it seems to me is that even Rossi was not of the
understanding that the whole business in Florida was legitimately the
GPT. Instead I wonder whether the Doral activity was being conducted
for reasons that were not transparent from the lawsuit. One thought
is that Rossi was putting pressure on IH to back out of the license
agreement on favorable terms, so that he could enter into a new
business arrangement unencumbered with a more tractable business
partner. IH were unwilling to do so, and so Rossi sought various ways
of raising the stakes, first acting erratically and then going through
the motions of the GPT. Perhaps he was of the assumption that IH would
want to avoid bad publicity enough not to allow the matter to go to
trial. If so, this seems like a miscalculation on his part or a
desperate endgame.
IH may have had reasons either to continue with the license agreement,
or at least not cancel it without being reimbursed for various
expenses incurred in Florida beyond the 11.5 million they had already
paid. The terms for canceling the license agreement may have been too
objectionable to Rossi without significant modification.
