From the link: He deserves credit as a pioneer in the Ni-H LENR field, but I don't have high expectations about his ability to pull off a successful launch of a company that will introduce this product to the market.
Rossi deserves no credit. Sterling Allan is way too generous with him.

Even though both Rossi and Defkalion have shown themselves to have absolutely no credibility, they can still rescue themselves.
All they have to do (either one) is allow an honest, independent test of their device by a credible testing organization. That's it. If they do that, they can still prove that they have the most revolutionary invention of the last 100 years.
Of course, they won't do that. They'll come up with some lame excuse why we should ignore the mountain of evidence that they are frauds. But they will never actually allow a proper test of their gadgets.
Oh, noes, Rossi lied!I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! ;-)
As someone mentioned above, this is going to hurt the entire LENR research community. Especially all those researchers who were gullible enough to believe Rossi's demos.
Focardi (assuming he wasn't involved in the scam), Levi, Celani, Kullander, Essen, Jed Rothwell and many others have all demonstrated that they can't be trusted to distinguish between a breakthrough and a fraud in their area of expertise.
There is not much call for an "expert" who has been shown to be so thoroughly wrong.
