Okay, so tell me how to do it INCORRECTLY. I shall try it using the worst method you can think of, and we will see if your incorrect method makes a significant difference. You are saying Rossi did this wrong. Tell us exactly what he did wrong, and if I can I try the same method and see if you are correct, and this causes an error of 5° to 10°C. - Jed
