I profess physics as well, but I only have a BS.

Reminds me of Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest, where her only job was to repeat the computer.

Possibly.
I have posted Rossi comment on ECat World.
Will let you know if I get any response.
Sam, I saw your post his response. Then
the slimebagRossi edited your message and deleted the important part the validity of the demo with no EV representative.How do you feel about Rossi's behavior in altering your post without your permission?
How do you feel about Ross's morals and ethics?
Your original post:
Can there be reputable verification without EV representative?

Will there also be representatives / team members of the EV Producer at the demo?

Possibly,

Rossi has his good traits and not so good the same as us all.
I focus on whether he has what he says he
has in his invention.
Here’s hoping.

Your focus on that for some 5 years (?) now here has indeed amazed us all.
I remember when a relatively open-minded Sam said he would give Rossi 3 months to come up with the goods before concluding no show = no goods.

Anyone else here would realise that when demos on a bench measuring input and output from some device that, it is claimed, generates light or electricity etc do not convince, an EV with device somewhere embedded in it does not have a hope in hell.
But more, what sane inventor would attempt such a thing if he had a working device?
Still, in post-truth 2024 where - especially in the US - a bemused populace finds that many of its putative leaders replace truth with naked lying - I guess a little Rossi insanity is par for the course.

By "not so good" do you mean bad? Not so good implies they are still good. Are you afraid to criticise Rossi at all? I don't think you or I personally have traits as bad as Rossi. Don't put yourself down like that.

I think your biggest sin is your devotion to a false god (Rossi)

I Wish that it was the Biggest.
I just look at Rossi as a Normal
Person warts and all.

That is mistake number one

One thing about the Rossi skeptics it
doesn’t take much to get them going.
I wish I could build a LENR device that
starts up so easy and keeps running with
a bit of coaxing.

I guess it is just there is so much old history - no effort to repeat a bit.

So does Rossi.
<edit>
Oh, and Rossi no longer claims to have a LENR device.

A little humor break:
Other work honoured on the night included US research to house pigeons in missiles to help guide them to their targets; UK investigations which found that claims of extreme old age tend to come from areas that have short average lifespans and and a historical lack of birth certificates, and a French study which found that scalp hair tends to whorl in a clockwise direction, though less so in the southern hemisphere.
The other winners of the 2024 Ig Nobel prizes
Peace
Awarded to the late BF Skinner, a US psychologist, for exploring the feasibility of housing live pigeons inside missiles to guide them to their targets. The project, which Skinner himself described as crackpot”, was dropped despite a perfect demonstration involving a pigeon trained to target features on the New Jersey coastline. “The spectacle of a living pigeon carrying out its assignment, no matter how beautifully, simply reminded the committee of how utterly fantastic our proposal was,” Skinner wrote.
Botany
Given to Jacob White in the US and Felipe Yamashita in Germany for reporting evidence that the South American plantBoquila trifoliolata can mimic the leaves of plastic plants it is placed alongside, leading them to conclude that “plant vision” is a plausible hypothesis.
Medicine
Won by a Swiss, German and Belgian group for demonstrating that fake medicine that causes painful side-effects can be more effective in patients than fake medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
Physics
Awarded to James Liao at the University of Florida for a comprehensive, multi-publication investigation into the swimming abilities of a dead trout.
Probability
Shared by a team of 50 researchers, mostly Dutch, who flipped 350,757 coins to test a hypothesis put forward by Persi Diaconis, a former magician and professor of statistics at Stanford University. Their work supported Diaconis’s prediction that tossed coins are (slightly) more likely to land the same way up as they started.
Chemistry
Another win for the Netherlands, with a team in Amsterdam using chromatography to separate drunk and sober worms, all the in the name of polymer science.
Biology
Another posthumous award, the Ig Nobel in biology honoured the late Fordyce Ely and William Petersen for their 1940 investigation into factors affecting the production of milk in dairy herds. Writing in the Journal of Animal Science, the pair recounted placing a cat on the back of a cow and repeatedly exploding paper bags to see if milk-flow changed. The terrified cows appeared to release less milk. “Frightening at first consisted in placing a cat on the cow’s back and exploding paper bags every 10 seconds for two minutes,” the researchers wrote. “Later the cat was dispensed with as unnecessary.

The painful side effect placebo tests are a very important part of the literature. It is a fiery sword.
