He was lying through his teeth in the Penon report and the depositions. The reports from Murray and Smith flayed him. I worried that the jury might award Rossi money because it might be deceived by his lawyers, but technical information revealed in the discovery phase leave absolutely no doubt that Rossi is a horrendous fake. A few technically knowledgeable people disagree, but they are deluded in thrall of Rossi. > I really have no opinion or knowledge of any particular facts concerning > this OTOH typical and obvious cruddy, squabbling, ego-ridden, > money-grubbing falling out, one way or the other. > If you have no knowledge that can only mean you did not read the Penon report or the depositions. Or it means you did not understand them. So you have no basis to form any opinion, or to judge the situation. This was a technical argument from start to finish. It was about thermodynamics, heat, ventilation and calorimetry. It had nothing to do with "money grubbing" or capitalism, except insofar as Rossi was revealed as a fraud and a thief.
