Good post, Eric. I agree with your conclusions. Krivit may be right but he has no inside info on IH and is, like you say, basing his opinion on prior personal animus. Ahern is an excellent scientist – but outspoken. He is far from senile except in his lack of proper editorial precision, or

I just don't see how it's possible for Rossi to provide 'proof'. No one is going to believe this report. They're not going to trust the examiner. They're not going to trust the process by which he was chosen. They'll question his conflict of interest. They're probably not going to know exactly

Skepticism is a good thing but Jones seems biased against Rossi. The proof that the E-Cat works is stronger than that it doesn't. Both Industrial Heat and Woodford Equity have done due diligence before investing money, something that legal consequences if its false. In my opinion Jones
