No, I never thought that for the March experiment (where the COP was 3), where they measure the emissivity. In that experiment, a pretty simple deception illustrated in the videos I posted can explain the alleged COP. I was more suspicious of the December experiment, where they did not measure the emissivity, but those suspicions have been largely allayed by Pekka's calculations, and my subsequent similar calculations. Only the non-grey body considerations may have an effect, but it's a very long shot.
