In reference to the post above and as an example of how my position on Rossi has 'changed' I provide the following comment from me from two years ago.
I believe that this attitude is opposed to your apparent position that the benefit of the doubt should be extended indefinitely and without regard to decreasing credibility.

I believe that this post is an indication of an open mind, something that you believe I don't possess. As in, I began this discussion on Rossi with an open mind, but it is Rossi himself, with his endless parade of nonsense over the last two years, that has led me to CONCLUDE that he is full of shit and should not be believed.Don't get me wrong, I am interested in this stuff. I do not rule out the possibility of LENR type reactions that we don't understand.
There may be some way of overcoming the Coulomb Barrier that is not yet known/understood. Muon catalyzed fusion should at least open our eyes to the possibility that there may be other ways to get nucleus close together.
Who knows - micro-hydrogen atoms, short lived neutron imitators, hydride ions doing deep dives, some sort of electrostatic resonance in the metal lattice that does things we don't yet understand - I suppose there could be something.
Maybe it isn't even new physics, but just and unexpected implication of existing physics.
Anything is possible.
But it would be a miracle for sure.
As would Rossi's cheap method of isotopic doping referenced in the link I provided.
The ONLY reason for my post was to point out the fact that Rossi has claimed that he has a way of enhancing Ni62 and Ni64 cheaply, a point that I didn't see referenced in these 60 pages of posts, as an answer to your question. Maybe it has to do with his biological patent applications.
It is interesting that if he really can get to pure Ni62 and Ni64, then the isotopes of copper ash are a little more explainable.
I believe that this attitude is opposed to your apparent position that the benefit of the doubt should be extended indefinitely and without regard to decreasing credibility.
