Although it would be wonderful if every experiment checked for everything, but in the series of tests (or demonstrations as the wiki police call them), almost every possible fake has been checked in at least ONE experiment. So in a sense the elimination of fakes is cumulative. In the very first test they weren't allowed to look into the control bx. In later tests they were, and no we seem to be back to secret. (They should at least have measured and/or weighed it). For another example, look at my experiment/equipment table : http://lenr.qumbu.com/rossi_ecat_eai_table_v4.php In the April 19 test they DID check for RF : Bianchini checked for electromagnetic fields from 5 Hz to 3 GHz. With the exception of two cases, the testers were allowed and encouraged to bring their own equipment, or they were free to borrow Rossi's, and to do a basic calibration. (eg weighing the fat-cat they used a bathroom scale, and checked it by having two people check their weights. Probably good enough to 10 / 180 lbs, and establishes that it's moving freely) The two excepted cases are : a) No SPECTRAL radiation detectors b) For the heat-exchanger test Rossi pre-fixed the thermocouples and didn't allow testers to bring their own. (A fatal error to that experiment --- and with the plumber and his toolbag -- which Krivit scorned -- could have been done in half an hour). So for any particular test Rossi has to guess WHICH fake he can use. "My gosh -- they're sweeping for RF fields, so I'll have to turn THAT off. Just as well I've still got the spot laser rigged up!" ... "Oh dear, they're going to measure the current on ALL the leads, so I've got to us the ...." etc etc.
