"I agree this test proves nothing for good or ill...but you have to admit it smells bad. Every “test” of the device seems to stop short of unbiased critical scrutiny."

You need to stop reasoning with your nose. Do you consider Mats Lewan "biased"?? Personally, I'd say he is a lot LESS biased than Steve Krivit (and FAR better qualified technically to judge the technical issues involved).

I'm interested in how you and some other fans of Rossi and fringe science are going to respond when he doesn't revolutionize energy production in October, or even produce a single watt more economically than current methods. Can we talk about this? What's your exit plan? I see three obvious options for you when this doesn't materialize:

1. That you were just arguing on Rossi's behalf for fun, and since you never said the words "Rossi's machine will work" you weren't actually wrong about anything.

2. That Rossi is being suppressed by a conspiracy, and therefore you aren't wrong despite the fact that his machine appears not to work.

3. That you were wrong about Rossi, but a real cold fusion breakthrough is right around the corner so next time will be different.
