A fraudster (i.e. Rossi) could have yanked on that thermocouple just before opening up the insulation wrapping making it fraudulently appear that the thermocouple was close to the exit of the secondary cooling water when in fact it was close to the hot steam input side of that brass manifold during the test. . . .
Rossi has done test after test poorly for a /reason/ - when will people understand this?
Many people do test after test poorly. In most cases this is because they are incompetent. It is seldom because they are engaged in fraud. I think that Rossi is a genius for discovering things but he is not good at doing tests. Many famous scientists are like that, such as Arata.
There is no chance Rossi placed the thermocouple incorrectly in order to fool people. We know this because everyone saw it was placed incorrectly. He did not try to hide it. You are suggesting it was actually closer to the steam pipe and he yanked it back. Why would he yank it back to a place where it is _still obviously wrong_, where anyone who glances at the video thinks: "uh-oh, that may be a problem"? If you are going to commit fraud, you don't change the experiment to make it look like you made a stupid mistake.
