I'm much less apt to dismiss Defkalion out-of-hand. It's partly just an objective evaluation of what limited information we have of the organization. I'll happily grant them a bit of time before real skepticism sets in, mostly based on Jed's claim that a "competent observer" has done a site survey to discuss testing protocols. >From what I've gathered of the Defkalion story, they were gearing up to be a >systems integration hub, and an early Ni-H reactor sales force.

The chance that they are now being "fooled" or >"misled" by mismeasurement is so unlikely as to make no odds. This leaves >only fraud, which I have no reason (yet) to seriously spend time on. Rossi's past requires a cautious observer to consider fraud or exaggeration as possible scenarios. Defkalion's BoD, to the best of my knowledge, have not been shown to have any such backgrounds. I cannot conceive that someone "duped" by Rossi would go on to perpetrate an even-larger fraud, especially when there doesn't appear to be a "long game" in sight. So, with this, I am going with my gut. I'd recommend witholding judgment, and only point out that most evidence of Defkalion is limited to their statements. I find their handling of the entire situation to be significantly more consistent with a true developmental strategy. - Of course, there's always the chance that their statements only appear so professional, because of the juxtaposition of Rossi's childish rants about clowns, snakes, and paid spies.
