You make some decent points, and while I could counter on each one, I'll just say this: The 1MW unit test was contractually required, and agreed to by IH from the get-go. That people complain about why Rossi insisted on following through on the 1MW plant test really boggles my mind.
You'll surely agree that whether the 1MW test was contractually required and agreed to by IH are questions separate from whether the test was rigorous.
