I repeat, Rossi's rigs can be completely characterized with two thermometers, a barometer, and a beaker.

Did you also get your engineering degree from Kennsington U?

I see that Wonder Warthog is going too fast for you.

An analogy from WW2. Enrico Fermi, with a stopwatch and a fistful of confetti, was able to estimate within 5% error the energy of the Trinity nuclear test at Alamogordo. Of course there were a multitude of sensors in the vicinity of the atomic blast but Enrico did his calculations within 15 minutes after the blast while one had to wait at least a weak to collect all the data from the sensors and monitors and compute the results.

Have you ever heard of the Fermi solution?

Homework for you: how would you use the 2 thermometers, barometers, and beaker?
