Joshua, You may recall, I conjectured:

There lies the little pickle of a situation we find ourselves in. Who's right? I did my best to explain my perceptions on the matter. At present I don't think my thoughts were so terribly flawed that I will need to retract them - but we shall see. Truth is, I'm not in a position to prove your perceptions on the matter are incorrect. But then, nor are you in a position to do likewise to me. Under the circumstances it seems to me that a more practical approach would be to watch Defkalion very closely. I hope you are doing so as well. The burning question we all want to know is whether the products Defkalion's claims they are developing will generate heat (energy) cheaply. At present, I can't answer that, and neither can you. Few can. On the surface it appears that Defkalion is forging ahead with plans to roll out the first generation of products based on Rossi's contested e-cats, possibly by the end of this year. I don't know if Defkalion will meet such an ambitious self-imposed end-of-the-year deadline or not. Quite frankly, it would not surprise me if it takes them a tad longer. In my view it is unlikely that Defkalion as a corporate organization is working in isolation. I suspect there is a considerable amount of feedback and peer review going on within various departments, particularly the R&D and engineering sections. It seems logical for me to assume that by this stage of the game had Defkalion encountered something fundamentally wrong with the principal attributes of Rossi's e-cats, the entire organization would have folded up by now. That hasn't happened. Against all odds, it seems as if the exact opposite is happening. It's an interesting quandary I'm left to ponder. I can ponder the ramifications of your view on the matter, a view which seems to imply that all Cold Fusion claims (to the best of your knowledge) are bogus, or I can ponder the actions of Defkalion. Why is it that Defkalion seems to be forging... "full steam ahead", no pun intended. Such actions seem to contradict in the most fundamental way your premise that Defkalion is betting its existence, it's entire future on a bogus technology, and tragically so. That's not the impression I get. In any case, I hope you can at least appreciate why might want to avail myself to a second opinion, and a third...
