I agree Ed. Both you and Jones have stated the situation eloquently and I hope that John gives considerable thought to what has been said.
I suppose that one reason that any current modern physics determination can be overturned by a knowledgeable skeptic is that they all are the current ideas which one day will be replaced by updated ones. This is scientific progress as it should be. For example, Newton's old laws were assumed perfect at the time, but Einstein came along and improved them with his breakthroughs. So, now Rossi has his device under scrutiny by the skeptics who can always find some reason to complain. Most if not all of the reasons thus far suggested are invalid, but the skeptics seem to keep themselves occupied. This is their job and they would not know how to behave otherwise so I guess we have to cut them some slack. I would be concerned if what they spread throughout the Internet were able to delay the solution to many of the needs of mankind.

This is exactly the situation. Physics has sold the governments of the world on spending money for research that has practically no value. This use of money limits what else can be explored and greatly distorts what can be discovered. LENR has been rejected and held to a very high standard simply because it threatens this spending, as you so clearly state. When LENR is finally applied at a level that even an idiot will have to accept, the physics community will have to explain why this acceptance took so long when so much evidence was available and when the need for the energy was so great. Careful evaluation and rational skepticism is important but rational limits must be applied because EVERYTHING believed by science can be rejected by a determined skeptic. We would still be in the Dark Ages if rational limits to skepticism had not been agreed to and applied in science. Why is so hard to do now with LENR?
