Nothing is being withheld. Levi et al. were given unimpeded access to the input power. They could make any measurements with any equipment they chose. If it can be shown that they made inadequate measurements with the wrong instrument, that is their fault, and their's alone. Rossi withheld nothing. "For who knows what reason" has no meaning. I repeat, there was no "reason" and nothing was "withheld." Some skeptics have proposed highly unlikely scenarios that they imagine might be possible. This is the only "reason" for this discussion, and it has nothing to do with Rossi or Levi et al. Skeptics will continue to propose ever-more outlandish reasons to reject this until the day the scientific establishment admits it is real. At that moment, the skeptics will claim they believed it all along, and they will modestly take credit for it. - Jed
