Now some fun with cheap psychology ;-) To explain some of Rossi's tactics look in his bio: he was a really strong long distance runner.
"Andrea Rossi spent at least 8 hours a day studying and playing sports (athletics, Italian champion of road race in 1970, in 1969 the junior world record of 24 hours race)" http://ingandrearossi.net/gli-inizi/ If you have ever done some competition on endurance sports you know that you have to use similar tactics if you want to have the chance to win at the end of the race. Sprint and slow, get away and then hide in the group. mic 2011/8/1 Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com>: > Daniel Rocha <danieldi...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Makes "no sense" is a word too strong. > > It makes no sense to me! > >> >> I guess you are leaning to think he is a crank. > > I don't like the word "crank."
