Rossi has REPEATEDLY done dreadful work. I have followed his work as closely as anyone. I met with many people who visited him and worked with him, such as the people from NASA, and Mat Lewan. I corresponded with Rossi extensively. I have photos and unpublished data from him, and from people who worked with him. I know a lot about his work, and his techniques. In my judgement, and in the judgement of the people at NASA and others, he has often done terribly sloppy work. He made gross errors. He tends to blow up when people show him he is making a mistake, for example, when the people from NASA showed him the reactor outlet was plugged up and the flow rate was zero. He threw them out. He is his own worst enemy. He has also made many contradictory technical claims. I compiled a list and uploaded it here again recently. Everyone has faults, but Rossi's faults are extravagant -- larger than life. They are readily apparent to everyone I know who has worked with him, and I know lots of people who have worked with him. > That’s NOT science that is school yard rude behavior. > I disagree.

If the report shows convincing evidence of excess heat, Rossi will vindicated and he will be shown to have command of business and science. If the report shows no evidence of excess heat, I.H. will be vindicated. If the report is ambiguous, like the Lugano report, we will all have to decide for ourselves. - Jed
