You’re either on Rossi’s payroll, or lack essential critical thinking skills.
***Let’s take a look at the critical thinking skills exhibited in this sentence, shall we? It exhibits a classic fallacy known as the False Dilemma. Now, how is it that someone criticising the critical thinking skills of another FReeper exhibits a classical logical fallacy which betrays a lack of the very critical thinking skills he is criticising? Irony, thy name is dinodino.

...and, for the fourteenth time, Freeper Kevmo gaily ignores the fact that the “scientist” for whom he shills proudly claims a degree from a diploma mill.
IAC, any non imaginary customer would expect to have at least some relevant information revealed to him about what he was purchasing. You virtually admitted Rossi is a charlatan.
Rossi got his ‘degree’ from a diploma mill that was shut down for giving out fake diplomas ....

Which seems to be a problem for some.
“HEY KEVMO, IS THE DEGREE FAKE OR NOT? Idiot.”
I would like to interject that MOST degrees are phoney today... They mean VERY little. The person I know with the most patents worked for a fortune 500 all his life and has over 100. Of course they own them... No degree, just a HS diploma.
I would also say that most HS diplomas are phoney today also. Half the kids with them can’t read.
Now, tell me seriously, why would I bother reading their stuff anymore. Yecccchhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
USPS is such anagency. In my four decades there they were never known to check anyone's claims regarding degrees ~ what you needed was the imprimatur of the Senior Democrat on the House Post Office and Operations committee, or the Chairman with the Democrats were in charge.
Most government agencies aren't as good as that ~ they don't even put you through the mill of finding your way to a top Democrat.
It's a crime.
Your interjection of your editorial opinion of higher learning doesn’t change my question, nor does it change the fact that Rossi purchased a scam diploma from a diploma mill and claims it as his educational credentials.
These are the actions of a con artist.
Something's going on but it ain't quite what you'd expect from the Strong Nuclear Force.
>> “I’ll take your nonsensical reply as an admission by you that you know Rossi’s degree is fake, but you really don’t care.” <<
.
You know that you’ve got them running when they resort to adhominem attack.
Rossi’s ‘degree’ is irrelevent. No degree ever produced anything. Degrees are for seeking employment or advancement. Rossi says that he has a process; why would you care whether he does or not? If his degree was from Stanford, would that make his process better?
Are you deeply concerned for the financial well being of his investor?
Tell us what your personal angle is.
If Rossi’s degree was from Stanford, we would expect him to have a certain level of scientific knowledge, as well as experience in a laboratory environment.
You act as though not pursuing a degree and purchasing a degree from a diploma mill are the same, and they are very different. In the former, the subject has decided he does not want or need a diploma. In the latter case, the subject has decided that he needs a university diploma, but does not wish to earn it, so he buys it from a diploma mill with the specific aim of deceiving casual observers into believing that he has earned a degree. The latter subject is a liar and a fraud.
You keep missing the whole point.
Either the man has a functional process, or he does not.
In either case, it matters not at all how much sheep he has on the wall; what matters is whether the process is valid, and that was supposed to be what this thread was about, but a bunch of screaming fools are here to deflect from that question.
Why?
“If Rossi’s degree was from Stanford, we would expect him to have a certain level of scientific knowledge, as well as experience in a laboratory environment.”
I wouldn’t. At HP I worked with hundreds of them and to use a very technical term if I’m permitted on this forum; most of them sucked...
The problem with people from universities like Stanford is that they are mostly unable or unwilling to think out side the box...
How can we tell if Rossi has a valid process or not? He performs closed tests with shady protocols, speaks of mysterious buyers, and refuses to answer questions or subject his method to peer review. Since we can’t make a determination from scientific inquiry, what we CAN do is look at Rossi’s record. He has a sordid history, criminal convictions, and his engineering degree is from a diploma mill—all of which lead to one likely conclusion: SCAM.
You’re not interested in his process, and if it shows to be valid, I predict that your screaming will intensify.
