You can tell that he and the others have run out of legitimate arguments when they resort to this kind of nonsense. They have nothing more to say. They have lost the argument. This reminds of an incident in the 2008 election campaign. Obama was exhausted and he accidentally referred to visiting "the 57 states." This may have been a random slip of the tongue. Maybe not. I believe Democratic primaries include the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Americans Overseas, Puerto Rico and four others, so Obama probably had strategy sessions to deal with all 57. Anyway, this led to accusations by opponents that Obama does not know how many states are in the U.S., because he is ignorant. That is absurd; he has many faults but ignorance is not among them. It was clear that these opponents were scrambling to find a reason to attack him, and they were scraping the bottom of the barrel. Those opponents are still harping about Obama's 57-state mistake. You can find references to it all over the Internet. Cold fusion opponents still talk about F&P's mistake measuring neutrons in 1989, plus they natter on about many imaginary mistakes they think they have detected over the years. I am sure they will continue to assert that Fioravanti does not know the difference between grams and kilograms for as long as this dispute lasts, until Rossi is either accepted by the mass media, or forgotten. - Jed
