So you suggest that IH would have released the ERV if Rossi had politely asked them to do so?
Forgive me but... BWUHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA! Totally made my day, still wiping the tears from my eyes. Thank you, Dewey!
He didn't say that. What he said was that if Rossi wants the ERV released he could request it. He could do two things: consent to the release, formally, with a letter to IH, and then publicly give that consent.
As the test was coming to an end, Rossi repeatedly said he would release the ERV report. He said this on his blog. He promised Mats Lewan he would, and Mats planned a symposium. Later, when it became clear Rossi would not publish, Mats had to cancel, which cost him a lot of money and trouble.
So, if Rossi knew all along he was not authorized to publish, he was lying, and costing his friend Mats a lot of trouble and money. If he did not know this, he wasn't paying attention. He should have checked with I.H.
