After all, the only source we have for that story is Stirling D. Allan. I'm not aware of any second source, and in particular, I'm not aware of any actual confirmation traceable back to National Instruments.
This also raises questions about Rossi’s choice to rely on someone who is so gullible. Allan has a long history of shilling for scam artists, and Rossi’s association with him just adds to the question of Rossi’s legitimacy.
