Kullander and Essen were taken in. Whether or not there was really generation of heat, in what they witnessed, is debatable.
Nonsense. I am sure they were right. They checked carefully. Instruments of that nature, such as commercial flow meters, are highly reliable and there is no way Rossi could make a fake one.
You have no evidence they were taken in. They are smart people and they have been doing experiments for decades. Many other people observed these tests and apart from Krivit not one has said there was anything fake about it. Several people, such as the NASA group, said the tests did not work the day they saw them. It was obvious the thing was not working. If Rossi was faking it, why would he make the machine look like it is not working on the day NASA showed up? Presumably a fake demonstration can be made to look like it is working at any time, since there is actually nothing difficult going on, but only an illusion.
You keep claiming that scientists are easy to fool, but you have never said what specific, actual method might be used to fool them. Your assertion is not testable or falsifiable.
But the proof of it, that they accepted, was clearly defective.
Says who? Why was it defective? Because and invisible Leprechaun was changing the power meter reading when no one watched?
That shows that even people considered expert can be fooled.
No, it does not. You are making unfalsifiable assertions, like Mary Yugo's. You have demonstrate how they were fooled.
It's pretty clear to me that Rossi should not have announced until he actually had a reliable device ready to sell.
I disagree.
The story is that Rossi announced at the wish of his friend Focardi. That's touching, but ... what if it cost him a billion dollars?
No. Word was getting out anyway. He did not reveal anything that endangered his IP. I heard about him a year before the tests.
He is no worse off now than he was before the tests. Not much better off either.
