But it's pretty unsatisfying that all tests but the Lugano test were run for a handful of days rather than weeks and developed much less excess heat than that purported to the Lugano test. There is a shadow hanging over the Lugano test, concerning whether Rossi played with the contents of the fuel (or ash). I would love for this shadow to be dispelled, but isotopic analyses from a short test run with little excess heat will not do it. (Another possibility: there's some unknown parameter that adjusts what isotopes are consumed and produced.) Unfortunately, we watchers of this field must be satisfied with tidbits of half-information of the kind that can be derived from the Lugano report, and are always left wondering what's going on. Eric
