The 18-hour test with flowing water was completely valid, and the results were compelling, unless you think Levi et al. are lying. I think that is highly unlikely, and I also think it is unlikely that Rossi fooled them. The distinction between a test and a demonstration is somewhat indeterminate. It is matter of opinion. In my opinion, the January events were closer to the "test" end of the scale. What Krivit saw was far to the "demonstration" side. Much too far for my taste. - Jed
