JR: In real life, this scenario cannot be squared with the fact that tests at U. Bologna are continuing, and units will probably be delivered to universities in Sweden. JB: That is why we have NDAs, and you can bet your bottom dollar that everyone involved have signed them. JR: Nonsense. As I pointed out above, NDAs do not cover criminal activities, JB: Are you accusing him of a crime? Shame on you. AFAIK no crime has been committed. If Rossi has real OU, and I believe that he does as clearly stated - and he wants to prove that theatrically - where is the crime? I have not suggested it, and if you are now suggesting it - then please make it clear that this is your own opinion - not mine. JB: There is no question at all that they WILL sign NDAs if they want to be a part of this continuing R&D. They do have competent attorneys in Italy and only a fool would dispense with NDAs. JB: When the Swedish Professors find and document a robust COP of 4 instead of 30 they will be thrilled beyond words ! The prior test will be written off as measurement error. JR: That's preposterous. A measurement error on that scale is out of the question. JB: Nonsense ! In fact, this is the scenario that best fits the facts, whether you like it or not. There is no chance that the demo was done correctly in measuring P-out, as Horace very accurately points out. Thankfully, the substantial errors still leaves plenty of room for gain Shoddy work! Jones
