Why do you put three asterisks at the beginning of your sentences?
***That is exactly my quest, without the hint of sarcasm.
Nothing wrong with that.
I must say that all the personal attacks and abuse from fellow freepers is unexpected and disappointing, especially when this “new development” has been independently verified by 7 scientists.
I sympathize with you on the personal attacks, but I think the issue was that you keep insisting that this has been 'independently verified' by 7 scientists, and there seems to be considerable proof that these 7 scientists are not really 'independent'.
That still doesn't prove their conclusions wrong, but it does make one skeptical. Like Eric Holder stating that Obama did nothing wrong.
But so many people resort to classic fallacies that it’s astounding they have college degrees. Critical thinking is a freshman level, required course. Yet we see classic fallacies from people who claim graduate level exposure in sciences.
Yet you claim to trust the invention of a man who has been proven to have made falsified claims in the past. Is this not true ?

***Proof? Baloney. I’ve posted their CVs and the only thing any skeptopath said was to stop spamming. Where is the proof you claim?

***No, I do not trust Rossi, he’s too untrustworthy. But I do trust these 7 scientists, the Swedish Industrial group, the fact that the Anomalous Heat Effect was replicated more than 14,700 times before Rossi ever arrived on the scene, and various other facts within LENR. I didn’t post an article about Rossi for over a year. Now he is getting vindicated ( quite a bit late on his promise of independent verification, but still it is independent). Rossi wasn’t even there for the bulk of these tests. If he’s a con artist, he’s by far the most ingenious in history.
You’re avoiding this question
why do you put a quote around the word?
There is NO proof "that these 7 scientists are not really 'independent"." NONE. The sole difference between these scientists and some others is that they have not automatically and immediately disowned Rossi's experiments as fraudulent, but have consistently said that, by the facts as they saw them, the phenomenon is real.
That is it, period.
I see statements to the effect that Dr. Levi is a friend of Rossi. NO! Dr. Levi is a friend and associate of Dr. Focardi, which is how he got involved. AFAIK, Levi, at that point in time, didn't even KNOW Rossi. This is not to say that they didn't become friends afterwards. That may well be.
