I too analyzed it, and I agree. I realize I have not kept up on all the latest Rossi vs I.H. news on this matter. (I have my own research to deal with.) As such, I admit the fact that I may be ignorant of certain crucial details. I completely get it that I.H. is telling us that Rossi's data shows no COP+1 heat. Apparently, Rossi and his colleagues claim otherwise. For, now we in the peanut gallery will just have to sit on our arses and hope that we may eventually see for ourselves which way the chips fall. We may not find out. What I didn't realize was the apparent fact that I.H. may... and I repeat "may" not have attempted to perform their own independent replication of Rossi's work. I think this is a very significant fact that needs 100% CLARIFICATION ASAP. I had (mistakenly?) assumed I.H. HAD attempted to perform independent replication of Rossi's work - and that it was their own independent DATA they were working from and reporting on. In all honesty, while I can accept the fact that I.H. is a completely honest and reputable organization, the fact that I.H. might have been only analyzing ROSSI's data leaves MANY, MANY questions unanswered. In a nutshell: I obviously would not want to base my final conclusions on what Rossi sez. I would not want to base my final conclusion on data supplied to me by Rossi - or by a contraption built by ROSSI. All that has been apparently proven here is the fact that Rossi claims don't add up. Well... that's a well found suspicion that many have learned long ago! No excess heat was measured. Yes. I get that loud and clear. Lesson learned: DON'T BASE YOUR CONCLUSIONS ON WHAT ROSSI SEZ, OR ON DATA THAT ROSSI MAY HAVE SUPPLIED YOU WITH, OR BY A CONTRAPTION BUILT BY ROSSI. If no independent replication test was performed by I.H. here, it seems to me we're still back at square one. Only an independent replication of Rossi's contraption will definitely tell us whether there is anything here or not. Jed, what am I missing here?
