The idea that Rossi would do an unconvincing demo because he
needed to empty his bladder or get some sleep, and could not
delegate control for a while, makes little sense.
Indeed, that makes no sense at all. But what you are describing did not
happen. Rossi did a convincing demo. He stopped because he and the
observers needed to get some sleep. That's what Lewan and the others
told me.
You think it was not convincing, but the observers, Rossi and I
disagree. The observers were the ones who needed to be convinced in this
instance. Since the test did convince them, it was long enough. If you
had been an observer perhaps it makes sense to say it would not be long
enough.
Rossi said that the single-cell small reactors he demonstrated earlier
were manually controlled. As AG pointed out, you can never control the 1
MW reactor with 100 cells in it by manual methods. Rossi never said that
was manually controlled and neither did I.
