I see, so when I mention the unlikelihood of Rossi's lies, that makes me a Luddite.
Thanks, now it all makes sense.
Actually, it is the explanation that makes the most sense of all available data. The core of Rossi's claims are true....he is generating large amounts of energy from LENR. This central fact is attested to by a large number of independent witnesses in many demonstrations (the skeptopaths deny this). Another fact is that Rossi's patent protection is weak to non-existent. A third high probability is that Rossi's system is not sufficiently stable for really long-term operation. So, it makes absolute sense for Rossi to mislead potential competitors by feeding misdirection on various details.
Like it or not, the above scenario fits more of the publicly avialable data than any other.
