You have surveyed them? Could you list those who have had an about
face. "Most" encompasses a rather large number of individuals.
No. I have access to the private CMNS list, but I have not done a
poll. And definitely I'm not going to name names.
What I wrote was "my sense."
Further, "skeptical" means that they recognize that the Rossi claims
are quite a bit weaker than first impressions indicated. Many have
reported becoming far less sure about this. Some have become openly
skeptical, to the point of asserting some level of fraud.
Notice, please: "fraud" does not mean that there is no effect. That's
a non sequitur. However, once fraud is on the table, there is no
recovery except with *independent* confirmation.
