No, Rossi wants to perfect his invention through these numerous dog and pony shows and has complicated each one in their turn by adding new unknowns to serve to only confuse his scamming message, and then compound the confusion by making an attempt to keep the details of his design changes a secret. In an effective SCAM, just keep the scam simple and get the money quick on the way out of town. I can’t see past why Rossi would confuse his scam attempt by completely changing his design over and over and over again. This goes against my concept of how a good scam should be done. This scam, if it is one, is taking way too long and is very confusing and convoluted which is against everything that a good scam should be. I can guarantee you that if Rossi's machine worked… It’s all in the meaning of the word WORKED… The E-Cat works to a 1.0 release level. Remember when Microsoft released their initial operating system? It was almost useless but fun to play with. It would not support any mission critical real world functions but it had promise…great promise. It would take Microsoft decades to perfect their product. With every day that passed it would have a few less bugs and would stay up just a little longer. Rossi has just released Cold Fusion 1.0. He will need many years to perfect his new invention to mission critical capability in industry. 1.0 releases are infamous for the aggravation that they cause. If you are a first adopter and and a cold fusion geek who desn't mind some extensive and never ending back and forth with the vender, you will have a ball, otherwise if you need the reactor to do a job, your experience as Rossi's customer will be hell.

Especially from people such as Yugo and Park who accuse them of being frauds. I never said Rossi *is* a fraud. I have said many times and many different ways that his overall story is unlikely and that he *could be* a fraud. That's not the same thing. I also said that Rossi could easily prove any number of different safe ways that he's not a fraud. YOU (Jed) have told him the methods yourself many times and he has never availed himself of them. You keep saying the results of Rossi's demos were obvious but there is continuing disagreement over that from very smart people so you could be wrong. You have said Rossi lies at times but somehow that his lies exempt claims about his device's performance. That makes no sense. You and others persist in making unlikely excuses for Rossi. Rossi's problem is a failure to conduct his tests properly and to get independent testing. The skeptics merely point this out. They also point out simple and safe, inexpensive ways to remedy the problems. It's Rossi's fault, not the fault of the skeptics, that he doesn't follow your advice, much less skeptics' advice. Axil sees a cat and mouse game. I can guarantee you that if Rossi's machine worked and he showed it to just one reliable, intelligent, wealthy and influential person, a robust source of fusion energy from inexpensive fuel would be no cat and mouse game. Not for very long.
