The comparison to Edison is a good one.
What you forget, are the differences and there are many:
If Edison had multiply announced a closed loop flow calorimetry test with all
details to be made in University of Uppsalla, then he had done so.
If Edison had invited Kullander and Essen, then he had not sent them home
without definitive results.
Edison did never instrumentalize scientists to support his claims, he had not
the necessity to do so.
If Edison had promised to give a device to UniBo or Uppsala, he had done so.
If Edison had invited the european patent office for a test in a lab of UniBo
with international high level scientists and journalists, then he had made this
as announced in a lab of UniBo and not a doubtful test in his own shed.
Edison had invited his worst pathological sceptics and enemies to the demo.
If Edison had invented this device then he had made a demonstration as good as
possible and would sell to known customers.
It must also been said, Edison was a clever genius amateur, but he never made a
really grundbreaking invention.
The self excited generator was invented by Siemens. All really groundbreaking
inventions where made by others.
He made applications and improvements, but no groundbreaking inventions.
Even the thermal electron emission, what he has discovered, was finally
explored and developed by others.
