Once burned twice shy.
Do you really think I.H. would take another flier on cold fusion at this

Rossi did a great job. He has totally nuked the chances of CF to go
anywhere for a long, long time to come. Between getting egg on a lot of
people's faces, costing some people a lot of money, and making some CF
experts look like idiots for not seeing through him sooner (which should
have surprised nobody -- con man versus scientists, con man usually
wins), whatever aura of respectability the field might have had has gone
in the dumper at this point.
Anyhow that's my sad opinion on the situation.... :-(
