If Rossi is a fraud, legitimate but subtle claims of LENR will be even more ignored by the public and by funding sources than they already were. Probably with a comment of the nature of "that's probably another Rossi!" On the other hand, any *valid* robust claim can easily be tested independently and everyone will be interested if it is verified, just as they were (and many still are) in Rossi. Rossi got considerable main line press such as Forbes and various network news mentions even though he's an obvious flake. Imagine the coverage if someone ever really has robust LENR power and can prove it properly. It won't be because of Rossi that they get coverage but in spite of him.
