I think it's fairly simple actually. Mr Rossi has chosen to organize his efforts as a commercial enterprise, rather than as a scientific enterprise. Therefore, proof occurs when somebody can buy one, and the customer reports that it "works", even if just to some limited extent and with extensive customer support, if required. These are the same standards that are routinely applied to any technological enterprise that tries to advance the state of their own art, whatever it may be.
If Mr Rossi wished to influence or participate in the scientific debate, his entire approach would have to be different. So in my view the stuff he is releasing is fine; he can obviously do whatever he likes. It's just not very important. Scientific publication approach or commercial enterprise approach: choose one.
