There are some controversies described in the book which strike me as comical. They remind me of debates over whether Shakespeare wrote his plays or whether it was another man of the same name. For example, Lewan describes Rossi's claim that he had a factory in Florida where they manufactured components for the 1 MW reactor. Some people say he did not have a factory because they could not find it. Rossi claims he disguised it by making it look like it was manufacturing some conventional equipment.
The truth or falsity of this claim does not make the slightest bit of difference. Maybe the factory was not in Florida. Maybe it was in New England or Poland, or Palmero. Who cares where it is? Here is what we know. Someone manufactured more than 50 of those square reactors that went into the 1 MW reactor. Rossi could not have made them by himself. He is a workaholic but even he could not pull that off. Somebody, somewhere made all that equipment. I do not see why it matters who it was or where they live. I do not see why he would lie about the factory being in Florida. - Jed
