Jed, You take on many hats. You say this is not how business is run. Sorry to disagree but that is exactly why this is business and not government run development. Both parties has 'married' with open eyes and then they have second thoughts. Only one of them or both, right or not does not matter. What matters even to the LENR community is a quick resolve, preferably with some good conclusive scientific data.
You say it is not a sporting event. What is the difference? Here it is many more unclear rules because this particular sport has not been played before. Than you go on about the moral issue. I have no problem with that will come into play. However, why suggest that Rossi can pay a bribe? If that is the understanding then we talk fraud and I would never suggest that is a reason even hypothetical. Too fast to judge as I said before.
