In Krivit's visit, Rossi said he had weighed the water and he

But he quoted the flow rate in the middle of the test, before he
weighed it at the end.
Anyone can measure the flow rate, at any time. You do not have to wait
until the end of the test. Just capture the flowing water before you
turn on the heat, or put the reservoir on the scale midway through the
test. Rossi or I could estimate the flow by glancing at the reservoir
water level.
That's not the reason to doubt him though. I should think you can set
the pump to give a desired flow rate. That's what it's designed for.
Krivit didn't read the pump settings, so all we have is Rossi's word...
You miss the point. They confirmed the flow rate with the weight scale,
not with the pump setting. You don't "read" pump settings anyway, except
for medical IV pump. If Krivit watched Rossi weight the reservoir, and
he noted the numbers, that confirms the flow rate. The flow rate does
not change over the course of the test. Krivit would notice if Rossi
changed the pump speed. Krivit is not reticent about reporting such
things. He would not keep things secret.
Other such as Piantelli have seen heat from Ni systems.
Even you didn't believe his results a couple of years ago.
I didn't _not_ believe either. I wasn't sure. I am not sure of many cold
fusion results. You, on the other hand, have made up your mind about
thousands of results you have never heard of.
A large number of inconclusive results make them less believable to
me, not more. There are hundreds of thousands of ufo sightings, and
that totality of results does not make them more believable.
That would be true if these results were inconclusive, but many of them
are as conclusive as any laboratory experiment can be. You say they are
not. You would describe heat after death at 20 W lasting for hours from
a fraction of a gram of metal as "inconclusive." That is preposterous.
That's like saying we cannot be sure if the Fukushima reactor buildings
really exploded because TEPCO denied it at first, and NHK still refuses
to broadcast the video. Maybe that video showed a cloud and flock of
birds, and someone in the foreground struck a kettle drum to make a
"boom" sound. Sure! Maybe the buildings were falling apart years ago.
That's what TEPCO would like you to believe. Your head-in-the-sand deny,
deny, deny song-and-dance routine makes TEPCO look reasonable in comparison.
