I thought he pointed out evidence that they DID cheat, i.e. not
enough heat from the radiator corral.
That was a different discussion. I think that is debatable. In this
case, Heckert was listing various other ways to cheat:
1. Using magical hot water that is liquid at 100 deg C and 1 atm; i.e.
"if it was hot water, then the energy was 5 times less than 100 kW."
That seems impossible to me, but okay.
2. Blatant cheating: "If there was a cold water flow in the other pipe,
then it was less than 50 kW. If there was a heater near the
thermoelement, then it was almost zero." Well, okay. But I say why
bother? Just tell people the wrong flow rate, or make up fake
temperatures, or leave the genset powering the reactor. No one was
allowed to check so they might have easily done that.
