Also, that he is a mysterious person. As I often said in the past year, before the Jan. 14 demonstration, he gives every indication of being a fake BUT I was told by people in the know that he is the real thing, so I should reserve judgement. I usually have no difficulty reserving judgement but it was a struggle this time. I have little doubt now that his claims are real. Sometimes appearances can deceive in the opposite way we expect. It is not unusual to find out that someone who seems honest is a crook, but you seldom encounter a person who seems like crook yet who turns out to be honest. There are still many contradictory and puzzling things about Rossi, such as the fake university in his resume. I think we should look at his technical claims and try not to be distracted by this sort of thing. > Indeed, there's a high probability that > Rossi & Focardi's "competitors" will quickly tweak the system just so > and start implementing even better, meaner & cleaner, cheaper energy > devices. > If they have a good patent that would only help them make more money.

People like you are the bane of public relations departments. Here the MasterCard company spends millions to promote their brand, and you confuse their ads with the competition's.
