-----Original Message----- From: Edmund Storms First, most people believe Rossi is a fraud and cannot be believed, but they will nevertheless believe him when he claims his heat results from transmutation of Ni. They believe him when he claims Cu is the result and now when Fe is suggested. Yet, absolutely no evidence exists for these claims. Nevertheless, long and detailed discussions result.
I agree that in the normal realm of online discussion, it is not logical to waste time on the claims of someone like Rossi - since his so-called "demonstrations" could have been little more than theatrics, and he is obviously a dishonest person at heart - with a background that is probably more despicable than anyone imagines. However... It's kind like during the Middle Ages when the most educated men, Bishops and Cardinals, etc would debate on how many angels can fit on the head of pin... which as we know - that kind of discussion is now a modern metaphor for wasting time debating topics of no practical value. At that time in History - there was nothing of greater value in the minds of these men than Angels and Divinity. Likewise today - at least on Vortex, there is nothing in Science of greater value to society than the proper understanding of LENR. It represents the best "game changing" strategy for getting away from fossil fuel - which is essentially why we are willing to overlook character flaws in Rossi, if there is even the most remote chance that he could have found the "Holy Grail" ... so to speak. And no matter how flakey the demos were, there is no doubt in my mind that Rossi did show something... ... how many Angels did you say, Brother?
