You wont get an arguement from me suggesting that I.H. should pay without knowing the truth. The truth is what I seek; did the Rossi system deliver 1 MW for the year or did it not? We owe it to Rossi and I.H. to determine the actual truth of the matter.
I realize that many on the list have drawn a final, absolute conclusion already while operating upon many of the possible facts. But I do not know what is true or not, or who is telling the truth or not. For example, how do we know for a certainty that someone actually climbed up on the roof and attempted to capture the outward heat flow rate? At that time, why did they not look down through the fan cover to see what type of equipment was visible? Did they say the vent was opaque? Would you not take a sneak look? Perhaps we need to water board both parties and get to the truth? Or, it might be easier to wait until all the facts are on the table.

Why would any reasonable person not want to know the real truth and not accept a possible fabrication by the judicial system? Even though we are subject to the court orders that does not prove that they are honest and accurate. My point is that if you were the trustee of a lot of other people's money, and someone did the equivalent of saying, "trust me, what just happened was a 1-year 1MW test that just completed successfully," and you were not able to verify that proposition yourself to your own satisfaction, hopefully you would not give them any money. You would say, "wait a minute, that doesn't make sense. You want me to give you all that money without really believing or having a basis for believing that what you're saying is true. Sorry, no dice." This is all apart from any legal questions. It's a matter of what financially responsible behavior would look like on the part of IH. I'm arguing they shouldn't give 89 million dollars to someone unless they really believe that money is owed. Eric
