You're making claims about the amount of catalyst present in the cells? Isn't this a bit like counting the angels on the head of a pin? Far as I know, Rossi has never shown a naked core or cell much less catalyst! He apparently showed some ash once to Kullander and it was entirely unremarkable in any way that could be revealed by the tests K reported.
I am not sure how important his all is anyway to the whole picture. I was just surprised that a much larger (yes, overall) device did not make much more heat.
