Another core confrontation: Jed Rothwell:
> Krivit is not a researcher. > As far as I know he has no valid technical reasons to doubt Rossi. > He only points to "suspicious behavior" and to some imaginary problems. > Joshua Cude: He published 200 pages of analysis from [ over 2 dozen ] experts he consulted. They are full of technical reasons. "Imaginary" is only your characterization of the problems he points to. They are very real to him, and to many of his audience. Krivit started out as a cautious supporter, but changed his mind when he saw the pitiful steam Rossi tried to claim represented several kW of energy, and after extensive consultation. I don't agree with Krivit on other things, especially the Widom Larsen theory, but he does represent an example of a cold fusion advocate who is skeptical of Rossi. My guess is that if Rossi's ecat fizzles, as I expect it will, some time in the distant future, Krivit will take his place as the king of cold fusion. He will become the go-to guy whenever new claims appear, as one of the few cold fusion advocates not so gullible as to be taken in by Rossi. And your credibility on the subject will likely suffer for the absolute certainty you have voiced.
