Nah, Jed, you really are just spouting neurotic nonsense. We're all just discussing the report here because it's interesting to us. The ash results we're totally bizarre. Rossi is often bizarre and says random, inexplicable things. I could see him, for whatever misguided reasons, messing with the ash. He does have a history. Funny that everyone knows that Rossi’s behavior is often bizarre, but no one want to go so far as to label it “clinical”. Rothwell keeps insisting he has “no motivation” for a scam, and that sounds sensible enough at first glance, since this sentiment is based on the motivational patterns of normal healthy adults. That category may not include Andrea Rossi. For one thing, he is a genius in some ways. He talks a good game and craves respect (such as with the mail-order PhD and his futile attempt to do blackboard mathematics). Plus, there is a known pathology – which a strong motivator. It is a illness called “the imposter syndrome” - a recognized personality disorder with several nuances including the great imposter syndrome. There was a fine 1961 Tony Curtis movie based on Robert Crichton's biography- the TRUE story of a great-impostor sufferer named Ferdinand Waldo Demar, who was otherwise a failure in life, except that he was multi-talented in many fields and especially good at convincing others of his skills. This personality defect is rare, but it has been seen in notable and dramatic cases. Generally the sufferer is a fast learner and a jack-of-all-trades…but always the “game” (motivation) is to see just how far one can go. It’s not always about the money- it is about self-esteem – yet in a short-sighted way that overlooks the consequences. CAVEAT: I am not saying that Rossi is GIS sufferer or motivated in this way, but only that it cannot be ruled out unless these many questions and suspicions are answered satisfactorily. Many of us have agreed with an apparent lack of financial motivation, up to the release of this disastrous report, but do we know how Rossi’s royalty payments are structured - based on milestones or not? This could be an added (strong) motivation. In fact, a major point often overlooked by the fan-boys, in calling so-and-so a skeptic or patho-skeptic, LOL - is that some of these same skeptics of AR will admit that there is excess energy in this experiment, but simply not enough of it to please the maestro - and with no valid scientific proof. Admitting to a low COP- this in a no-no which will not fulfill the self-esteem quotient that the GIS perpetrator craves – thus he thinks in his own mind that it is OK to cheat when the end justifies the means. There is an especially strong case for either deceit or extreme incompetence here, since Nuclear Science cannot in any remote way support this result in the ash. Rossi is the only individual who had the opportunity and the double motivation. But that is not conclusive. Most vortex readers have somewhat reluctantly accepted the reality of excess heat in LENR over the years - and are rightfully in denial - protecting their own self-esteem; shocked to learn that Rossi could have taken advantage of this good-will in order to pull off an outrageous stunt… if… that is what has transpired. Time will tell. We hope that there is a better explanation. Otherwise the field of LENR may not survive this disaster.
