As we here see how trivial it is to setup absolutely convincing
demonstration, then we have only one option left that Rossi does not want to
do such thing! At least not before October.
The question here is *WHY* he would not want to make such experiment?
Rossi has done this experiment, and so have others. He may be doing this
kind of experiment now, for all anyone knows. The question is: *WHY*
does he not want to have an expert do this and then publish a detailed,
authoritative report?
To put it another way, why does he insist on holding demonstrations
only, and "no more tests"? He is adamant about this. He told me this is
because he does not have enough time to do tests. Perhaps that is true,
but he has spent a few hours doing demonstrations for Krivit and others.
In my opinion, it would have been better to spend 8 hours allowing
independent experts to make measurements. (Or if not experts, me.) He
would not have to devote every minute of those 8-hours to operating the
machine. I believe that during the 18-hour test, he left it running
unattended for many hours.
