Of course I mean that they made the exorbitant claims without proper evidence, not that I have proof that the claims are false. The claims are incredible and extreme. There is absolutely no reason to believe them yet lots of people treat them as likely or even as facts. Claims of megawatt devices that will give free heat to the Police Academy of Xanthi (if there is such a thing), claims to being assured of making 300,000 (I forget the actual quantity) units of 5 to 35 kW Hyperions in 2012 for sale, claims to a factory, claims to all sorts of safeties and self destructs, claims to having given the Greek authorities devices to test -- I would define all of those as extravagant to the extreme considering that the company has never shown anything to anyone who can talk about it in public and that, to this point, includes your mysterious informant.
