Oh brother. not that again.  As usual, the material regarding Rossi's
questionable history has been rehashed numerous times on this forum, as well
as the second part of that statement... SNR decreasing.

The Greek govt is in utter turmoil, much worse than the U.S., plus it is
highly socialistic, which I would argue greatly exacerbates the corruption.
So like I said, using that as evidence is like walking out on a very flimsy
limb.  And even MORE to my point, I can provide rational opposing points
when discussing such circumstantial or ad-hoc 'evidence' so those kinds of
discussions are USELESS, and just end up in bickering.

And if one of those govt officials thinks that the technology is a threat to
their power, or even more importantly, of strategic importance to the
country, they can put a kibosh on any further mentioning of it via official
channels.

If you honestly think that is proof, then I think you're way off.  It proves
nothing!  They are a company, and they do not have to provide ANY
information that they are not legally obligated to provide, and answering
questions on a company forum are NOT LEGALLY required.  That I can
GUARANTEE.  It might look suspicious, it probably pisses you off, but it is
not proof!

As explained above, there are as many reasonable explanations for and
against, why that search, at the time it was done, didn't bear fruit.  That
is not evidence of absence.

What phase are you referring to?
