The 'real smart guys' get that reputation by NOT faking things. It's been shown that real smart guys are easier to fool by sleight of hand because they tend to focus too much and miss what the other hand is doing.
Somebody who practices the art of sleight of hand is going to be better at faking it than someone who occasionally finds a fraud is good at finding frauds. Just look at how long it took to find the fraud at IPCC, and they weren't really good at hiding it.
I hate to say this of a freeper, but you really sound like Al Gore. The science on the E-Cat is definitely not settled. The Ni to Cu conversion will produce heat, but whether they found a cheap way to do it is certainly open to question.

***Then show it. Targ & Puthoff weren’t very smart.

***I agree. But there have been a lot of people inspecting Rossi’s devices. All of them would have had to be stupid for your position to be valid.

***Global warming pukes, right? They were awesome at hiding it. What brought them out into the open was that someone hacked their email accounts. They weren’t under even 1/10th the scrutiny that Rossi is. If they were, they would have folded long before.

***And you sound like... the church lady. She’s always trying to associate her counterpart with someone Evil.

***There’s a high duhh factor to that statement.

***Adding some pressure, a catalyst and some hydrogen? That’s gonna be cheap no matter how you look at it, unless the catalyst is something as hard to produce as antimatter.
