What purpose would it serve? If he is engaged in fraud, how will this help? Why would he care what large numbers of people believe? It isn't as if his fans are sending him small donations. Your hypothesis is that this is a joke of some sort. I see no evidence for this. None of us knows what Rossi is up to, or which statements he makes are true and which are not. You have no more justification for your views than anyone else, so I do not see why you are so certain you are right. To justify the notion that this is a joke or fraud, a person can string together a long chain of suppositions, maybe this, suppose that, but there is no evidence for any of this speculation. It is a sterile waste of time. For every link in that chain there is inexplicable counter-evidence. For example, if we assume that Rossi's tests are fake, then why on earth did he do a real test when NASA visited? A real test that was an utter failure! Why would he make a fool of himself and show them a machine that does not work when he routinely shows people a fake machine that looks like it is working? I guess you could say suppose this and that and he did not think he could fool NASA so he used a non-working demo and blah, blah, but that does not add up either. The experts from U. Bologna would be as hard to fool as the people from NASA. He worked with them for months with what appear to be real systems. Besides, people of this caliber would see through a fake in no time. The NASA people realized from the start that the test was not working. It did not fool them. Rossi claimed it was working, but they could see he was being sloppy and he was wrong. I agree that none of this makes sense, at least from the outside. People's actions often fail to make sense. - Jed
