With the announcement of ecat-3 by Rossi, I increasingly get the impression that he is sort of a suicide bomber on a global societal level, destroying the plants of hope, the LENR community has.
Focusing hope, making ridiculous claims, then: bang, it was just a joke. Probability: 90%. Is Rossi planning a career as a comedian, or is he simply deluded, or is he a stooge of the oil-industry, or does he -ahem- 'really' have something? Just asking (myself). Consider this as a set of probabilities. Rossi's cascade of unsupported claims hints to the first set of options. Deluded: 60%. Suicide or similar techniques of leaving the stage: 20% Really have something: 0.x1% to 10% Comedian, Uri Geller-type: 2% Other: rest. Guenter
