Nick, No, all of this nonsense is explained by Rothwell picking out an irrelevant detail in a long thread, and ignoring everything else - in order to cover his trail in case the Swedish testing does conform to my prediction.
There is no factor of 1000 relevant to anything but the high thermal excursion in the second "secret" data of mid-Feb. In fact, Rothwell hates to admit he was wrong on this minor point - so he drags out a "label", as it were, pretending that it has relevance to the January demo - which it has none. He got cornered on the bet proposal, feels slighted that he has blindly trusted bad data - and is now trying vainly to save face. BTW - I'm basing the COP of ~10 estimate on both an alternative theory and on real NiH data not from Rossi. Jones -----Original Message----- From: Nick Palmer Re: the Jones/Jed spat Part of it might be explained by the confusion between "factor of 2 or 3" and "factor of 1000". If one was meaning orders of magnitude and the other wasn't, the flame war might become more resolvable. Nick Palmer
