It always possible that whoever is chosen to perform the test will manipulate the instruments and circumstances to produce a trick because they are part of a conspiracy to commit fraud. If you accept the word of the chosen testers that it is real, then it is because you believe testers to be trustworthy. Likewise if the testers concluded that the ecat did not work, the true believers will reject the assessment because they consider the testers untrustworthy. Unless evidence of fraud surfaces, I think it wise to tentatively accept the results. Of course, you can always change your mind, because you aren't expected to display unwavering faith in Rossi. This is not a cult. Harry
