Nope. The video was taken as he unwrapped the tape and revealed the
location of the TC. When the TC was revealed, Rossi stopped and
pointed at it, and held the picture for a moment. Someone uploaded
that frame, showing his finger pointing to the TC. The location is
quite clear.
Do you have a link to that particular video? (thanks)
Pretty sure . . . that was the NyTeknik video. Part of the article.
The still photo screen grab was posted here, I think. I will look
for it and add it to the RossiData folder. It may be incorporated
in one of the exhibits there already.

This is from page 4 from my review:
"This photo by Mats Lewan of NyTeknik of the 6 Oct Rossi Tout
thermocouple that it can and probably
did extend beyond the steel nut, toward the brass manifold:

It was thus subject to the air temperature in the volume underneath
the insulation and between the
brass manifold and steel nut. It is especially notable that the
frayed insulation, cut from around the
probe tip, was not trimmed. This is very unusual. The frayed
electrical insulation may have prevented
good thermal contact of the thermocouple with the steel nut, and thus
exposed the thermocouple
primarily to the air temperature in the vicinity, which would be
expected to be higher than that of the
steel nut."
