From Rossi's point of view quibbling about minor details such as the
thermocouple temperature readings is silly. I'm sure he would say "go
ahead and ignore that if you like; just look at the physical facts."
If he does it this way, then he cannot know the difference between a
random effect, a systematic measurement error or a real physical fact.
How can he know, if he doesnt care about repeatable and predictable
precision? He will fall victim to parasitic and random errors and
instead developing energy he will develop a method for systematic false
measurements.
He will develop pipe dreams, will measure them and will believe these
are real, because he is fooled by himself.
Just for fun, have a look to this video at 4:00 and later.

You see an absolutely chaotic workbench. This man doesnt care about detail
Some seconds later, you see a careful optimized breadboard circuit and
he starts to explain the most miniscule details in an oscillogram.
This is a guy who cares about details. (It is Jim Williams, a leading
first hour development engineer from Linear technology, a genius
developer. He died this year from parkinson and this is already visible
in this video.)
He has no titles at all, especially no false titles did never study
engineering, is autodidact.
