The experiments I am qualified to judge....theory.....not so much.
But I'll stick a thought in here that recently occurred to me that may help explain why a lot of the "scientist-types" don't "get" Rossi, and complain about his experimental methods.
Rossi is doing ENGINEERING research, not SCIENTIFIC research.
The goals of engineering research are a bit different from scientific research. One is intended to say, "I have proved (this natural phenomenon) does (something)". The other says "I've done enough data collecting sufficiently validly to justify spending further money on this possibly commercial idea".
The methods and standards for engineering research are a bit "looser" than for pure science. As I used to design instrumentation for use in engineering research (and production), I've worked under both regimes. In many cases, I have seen the engineers turn things over to the "pure science" guys to "dot the i's and cross the t's", just as Rossi is doing with the Bologna and Upsala folks.
