Solves nothing. In fact, nor does my proposed protocol.
Rossi just "turns on" the fakium for the live run, and leaves it off
for the "blank" run.
ps : I've always supported the position that the excess power * run
time must be long enough to eliminate all possible fakes, and have no
problem with anyone who insists that is required for "absolute proof".
But that's not to say that anything less than that is proof of
failure, or that no meaningful conclusions can be drawn from
incomplete, inconsistent or even faulty data. (Was that a triple
negative?). Meaningful conclusions can be drawn from incomplete,
inconsistent or even faulty data.
