This makes sense: there's no way judge and lawyers will be trying to find out outside info about this IP affair which seems out of this world. And there's really no way the jury will try to get outside info as well, because everyone respects what they're told to do and not do, especially when it comes to such a fantastic lawsuit.
Also, people never talk to their friends, so those friends will never try to find outside info either, about Andrea Rossi, Cherokee/IH, LENR, Cold Fusion, etc. Therefore, those friends won't say anything about what they've not read online about all this, to the people involved in the trial.
I really like the logic of "It's not pleasing to live in a dirty environment, that's why people don't throw garbage in the street"
