Jed-- IMHO you seem to select those folks who you want to believe, and distrust those that seem to support Rossi’s comments.
Along the lines of throwing people out of offices, I was once after interviewing for a job thrown out of a an apparently competent engineer’s office. The organization, 4 hours later, informed me that I got the job. As a result of that job, I eventually realized over a million dollars without lifting a finger. I concluded in the long run that the competent engineer was more competent than was evident based on the interview. All I can say is there are different strokes for different folks. Rossi is clearly a different folk as some have suggested by highlighting his difficult personality. That competent engineer that I mentioned above mentored me with the motto “No friction, no motion”. I found it to be a way to get at the truth and to get people to reveal their real motives, frequently hiding facts. It did not help me win any popularity contests, however. And I doubt I will be so-honored in the future by winning.

All of Rossi's previous claims were either false or demonstrated so badly it is impossible to judge. I got tired of his shenanigans years ago. If he had what he claimed, he could have done a proper test and convinced everyone. Many experts advised him on ways to do a convincing test. He ignored them. Instead, he did test after test in ways that proved nothing. When Jim Dunn and the people from NASA pointed out that he was making a dangerous mistake and the reactor was plugged up, and on the verge of exploding, he was furious with them. He refused to fix the problem or do the test again. He threw them out! They were offering him millions of dollars and he would not even lift a finger to do a proper test. After that incident there was no doubt left in my mind that Rossi is either very stupid or a fraud -- or both. Anyone who would do that has zero credibility. Talking about the validity of the E-Cat technology, Fabiani continues: I don't believe that guy either. Is he an employee of I.H.? I doubt it, but if he is they should fire him. Rossi's blog is not a reliable source of information. - Jed
