To me, Rossi’s actions are entirely understandable given the nascent state of his invention. In the very early stages of development, a presenter at a sales demo will emphasize what works and try to hide what doesn’t work well. I confess I have done this myself.
It is the job of the audience to tease out the truth of the state of development. It takes work to do this. One cannot sit back and whine that the true does not unfold before them without some effort to inquire and analyze. In this cat and mouse game between Rossi and his customers, Rossi will be developing his invention for many years to come continuing by revising and improving it as he goes along just as he has done for the last year. Edison, the Wright brothers, and Tesla did the same sort of things as Rossi is doing now. Customer feedback is important which presupposes that the product will evolve over time. Nobody introduces a world changing technology full blown into our world right from its start.
