I don't think the calorimetry needs to be that good if there are no energy inputs (electrical or chemical), and the test is run long enough. The world will pay attention to the field again only when the talk of energy gain is replaced by talk of energy production.
This is not necessarily true, and certainly not true unless useful amounts of energy are demonstrated in a practical application.
There have been many cases discussed here over the last 15 years of bad or highly debatable calorimetry indicating total energy balances beyond chemical. No one should invest a dime in any CF scheme for business purposes unless expert calorimetry is performed in due diligence.
