Please keep in mind that the following quotes have been extracted from individuals whose opinions may have changed (or moderated) in subtle ways later on in the on-going thread.
>From Mr. Lawrence: >> I would bet a dollar to a doughnut that Levi >> doesn't believe it's for real, no matter what >> he says in interviews. Rothwell responds: > Hmmm . . . That is not my impression, but you > could be right. Villa expresses many doubts. > Perhaps Levi shares them with him. Keep in mind, in the NyTeknic article out at: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3083834.ece Levi is quoted as allegedly saying the following 2/3 of the way down: ... > He [Levi] emphasizes that the experiment must be carefully > prepared with a very strict protocol to avoid any doubt. > It includes measuring any amount of copper produced – a > sign of fusion between nickel and hydrogen. > > “I know that Focardi (professor emeritus and Rossi’s > scientific advisor) and Rossi have seen copper. I have > known Focardi for years and have worked with him (...) > and do not doubt his ability or his professionalism – nor > Rossi’s, as I’ve had the opportunity to meet him and he > seems very serious. But to verify this, we need to use > very stringent methods so that no one will have any doubt.” > > “I would like to organize it calmly. Next week engineer > Rossi will be here and then we discuss the set up. He > said he’s willing to repeat the experiment. Again, please note commentary directly attributed to Levi: "I have known Focardi for years and have worked with him (...) > and do not doubt his ability or his professionalism – nor > Rossi’s, as I’ve had the opportunity to meet him and he > seems very serious. Seems to me that speculation suggesting that Levi (inwardly) suspects that Rossi's & Focardi's prototype isn't for real would, by default, leave no other alternative than to imply that Levi, himself, is nothing more than a big fat liar. ...just another sinister cog in the disinformation wheel - deliberately leading observers astray. Granted, we can continue speculating all we wish on matters of this nature. Nevertheless, all I can say is that at present such speculation isn't the impression the article gives me.
