Further, Rossi answered to a question regarding the thermocouple placement:

Please, no one not even Rossi would position the Tout thermocouple bead
floating in the air and expect it to accurately measure the temperature
of the water in the yellow tube.
The position you see is after the insulation was removed and the wire
straightened out.
Why do I say that? Look at how tightly the white insulation is
compressed around the right side of the stainless nut. That amount of
pressure on the thermocouple lead would have forced it to bend to
conform to the shape of the nut. There is no evidence this occurred.
Instead the thermocouple wire has a prominent kink about 50% of the way
between the bead and where the wire is taped to the outlet fitting. This
suggests the wire was bent in the middle and pushed down into the
insulation, allowing the bead to come into contact with the brass
fitting and the thermal transfer material and to be exposed to thermal
leakage from the 110 deg C hot end of the manifold.
Then the valley that is visible in the thermal transfer material image
was formed when the insulation was removed and the bead was removed from
being in contact with the brass fitting.
As for Rossi saying the placement was checked to have no bias, (small
lie on his part) he also said the BBB was shipped to the customer and
that he had visited the customer to install the BBB (really big lie).
Both of those big lie statements we now know are false. Why do you now
give his "Trust Me" statement that he checked the placement and there
was not temperature bias.
I say BS Mr. Rossi. There is no way that thermocouple placement could
have measured the real water temperature. No way in hell. Rossi is
lying. Just liked the lied about the BBB. He has no regard for the truth
and has proven that on many occasions.
So please don't say to me it must be so because Rossi said it was so. He
is a liar of top level lies. Stop believing his lies.
