So if was a lie, it was pointless, and not covered up. I would call that careless blabbing, not exactly lying. He has a habit of saying whatever nonsense pops into his head. So do many prominent skeptics, such as Robert Park. He lied again when he stated he was attending the secret install site to > help the secret customer do the install. > Maybe. Maybe not. There is often installation work to be done before the equipment arrives. Who knows? It is his business. He can say anything he wants about it. He often says strange and contradictory stuff. I made a whole compendium of it. You should learn to ignore that, or take it in stride. Don't get all worked up about it. It has no bearing on the scientific validity of his claims, which have been established independently. So what if he lies as much as Edison did? Why should anyone give a damn about it? > There was no translation issue here. Rossi deliberately lied at least > twice about the biggest event in his life and in the history of LENR. I would not call this the biggest events in the history of LENR. Anyway, it is ongoing. I expect he did sell the gadget, and he will install it eventually. Things like this are often delayed. Nothing to get worked up about. > Would this not suggest Rossi has lied about a lot of other, not so > important to him things? > Who cares if he has? It is irrelevant. It has no effect on the validity of independently replicated claims. I cannot understand this obsession with personality and Rossi's personal life! Are you going to talk about his sex life or his tax returns next?!? The guy is not running for political office. He is not bucking to become the Pope. So stop worrying his personality and his personal life. If you don't trust him, don't sign a contract with him. I wouldn't.

His data has been independently confirmed by other people. Highly skilled, trustworthy people. Anyway, he doesn't exactly lie. He just spouts off and says things he does not mean. I have known many people like that. Once you discover you are dealing with such a person, you should stop getting upset. Take it in stride. Verify everything they say. If you invite them into your house, hide the silverware and valuables. The man has been caught lying on multiple occasions. Not just little white > lies but really big and important whopper lies.

He can't con other people's thermocouples, or replications thousands of miles away from him, in labs he has never been to. He has no supernatural powers. Stop with the dramatic potboiler thriller scenarios. This is real life. - Jed
