I do not think he meant it would be impractical; I gather he meant it is impossible. He probably has a reason for saying that. We will see whether that reason is valid or invalid. Rossi says many things which seem strange or baseless; i.e. without a reason. Many people have concluded that he does not really mean what he says; he is playing some sort of mind game; or a deception similar to what Ching-Wu Chu was accused of doing when he told people his formula had Yb (ytterbium) instead of Y (yttrium). I recommend you reserve judgement and not try to read his mind. I do not know why he says these things, and more to the point, I do not know whether these things are true or false. Nobody knows. It is likely they are mixture of true and false. Rossi has a highly original, bold, and idiosyncratic world view. He also has idiosyncratic ways of expressing himself. So does Arata. As I said, he often makes up strange new words to describe concepts that already have conventional words. Such people often discover new facts about nature that seem crazy to the rest of us. They also often make gigantic mistakes, that we would never make because we are too timid, and too conventional. We can too easily jump to the conclusion that such people are dissembling. It is better to reserve judgement and reach no conclusions for now. - Jed
