It's seems to me that most of the people talking about Rossi-Focardi would like to have a proof given personally to them to believe.... In my opinion there are only two facts which we can judge: 1) Rossi-Focardi had given a private demonstration of their reactor to the University of Bologna (the so called 18-hour test) which later signed a contract to study the reactor. 2) The same happened with the university of Uppsala, but for what we know at the moment they have not signed a similar agreement. The rest is totally pointless to discuss. The public tests are useless, for whatever rossi would show in a public test, people would find flaws in it saying that it doesn't constitute a proof. Rossi has choose not to follow the scientific path of publishing results and wait peer reviews. This is perfectly legitimate and I can even think good reasons in doing this beside his justifications about patents and trade secrets.
