It says nothing about the Rossi cell content. It sheds no light on the nature of the reaction, or any trade secret. At the same time it is full of rigorous facts and figures that prove the calorimetry is correct. The paper sets out to prove one thing about a "black box" test. It succeeds. If Defkalion presents something like that, I will be thrilled. I do not want to hear anything that might endanger their intellectual property. There is no need for that. What I do not want to hear is 30 minutes of unsubstantiated blather about their business plans, or statements about "elliptical orbits of electrons in clusters" without a single reference to a physics textbook or rigorously theory paper. When you make a formal presentation at a conference, if you cannot back it up an assertion with facts, or you will not back it up, do not make it in the first place. Say nothing. People at a business conference can talk all they want about their business plans. That's fine. That would be a different set of rules. - Jed
