They are confident, but we cannot be sure they have a positive result this time. Even assuming the results really were positive last time, with no experimental error, that is no guarantee the thing worked this time. I meant that Rossi devices are unpredictable. They work in some tests, and then they stop working. Everyone I know who has tested them says that. Readers may recall a test we discussed at length where it took several hours for the thing start up. The data shows the anomalous heat starting up, then stopping. Finally it turned on and stayed on. During the second ELFORSK test, the reaction went out of control, the cell turned incandescent, and then melted. I do not think Rossi will admit even to himself how poorly controlled the devices are. This is what you expect from a prototype machine exhibiting a novel, unexplained phenomenon. - Jed
