Unbeknownst to the cold fusion enthusiasts, Rossi is really doing a phenomenological study on the perception and judgement of those who believe in in LENR. This explains everything about Rossi's behavior. AR is not really interested in proving that LENR works or taking a lot of money from his followers or believers, although it doesn't hurt that some cash rich corporation could pay or have paid him millions to do testing on his invention. He intently interacts and studies his audience mainly over the internet, primarily to elicit responses from them, and he tries to get his audience to make decisions based not entirely on science or facts, but rather on subjective experiences. This is the definition on phenomenology from the wiki: "phenomenology thus attempts to create conditions for the objective<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_(philosophy)> study of topics usually regarded as subjective<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_(philosophy)>: consciousness and the content of conscious experiences such as judgments<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgments> , perceptions <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptions>, and emotions<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotions> ." Why phenomenology you ask? Well, Rossi has done this before in 1973; his master's thesis: Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Relativity> and its interrelationship with Edmund Husserl<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Husserl> ’s Phenomenology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)>.
