Bob, you appear to be too convinced that the gain is unity and are going to great lengths to obtain that result. The testers are well respected scientists and no one should assume that they are so easily misslead. Besides, there are several measurements that support the fact that the COP is greater than unity which you seem to brush off.
I wonder about whether or not the actual temperature is correct as well, but am in no position to prove one way or the other. The most important observation that supports the elevated COP is the slope of output power versus input power that they measure about their chosen operating point. I can think of no way to fake that measurement without a dose of true magic. And then it would be extremely difficult to understand why the measured behavior tends to follow what my simulation predicts.

Nullis in verba. :) I believe my eyes more than others words. In finding so many potential faults with so little published information (they had a month to investigate!!) I can only say that I am unimpressed by the critical observational skills of the testers. If they had approached this demo with a more critical mindset I might be more inclined to believe them.

Why don't we just accept that the authors of the 2014 test also know enough about the construction of the reactor to say that the dark bands align with the wires?

There are multiple explanations, which depend on the structure used to hold the wires, and on the properties of everything. Insufficient data !!!!!
