Craig,
It is hard to tell who said what in this format.
I was talking about Rossi's prior demos when I wrote that. The 1MW
plant is a different story. The proof is supposed to come from an
independent third party - the ERV.
">>>He says he has not read the Penon report yet, so he cannot judge.
The people at I.H. have read it. At this point, we can only compare
Rossi's evaluation with I.H.'s. In my informed opinion, they are better
at calorimetry, so it is likely they are right.
Does the license agreement look like IH can interpret it? It reads as
though the ERV certifies that the device complied with a set of
specifications. If it did, then the ERV certifies it.
Section 5. Guaranteed Performance.
"The ERV (or another party acceptable to the Company and Leonardo) will
be engaged to confirm in writing the Guaranteed Performance."
I don't see where IH has the authority under the agreement to make any
kind of judgment on the report.

How do you know that?
As I said, I have met with them and discussed this with them.
I doubt anyone who writes about this story knows the players
better than Mats Lewan. I judge him technically competent.

I am not talking about personality, motivation, or anything else. I
have narrowed this down to one question. Who is better at evaluating
calorimetry? In my opinion, I.H. is, but I could be wrong.
I take the two press releases at face value. I am assuming that Rossi
means what he says, and I.H. means what they say. If I.H. actually
thought the machine works, they would be crazy not to pay him the $89
million.
I get the feeling Rossi simply doesn't care about making a
foolproof demo.
He must do this if he wants the $89 million. That is what is
stipulated in the contract.
