1. Jed Rothwell claimed to have seen data from the ERV report, having been leaked, he claimed, on report he believed, by Rossi. He claimed that this evidence indicated fraud or massive error, sloppy work, or the like. Exhibit 5 is a set of questions asked of Penon by Murray. These questions were apparently asked verbally in February, and then formally, in writing, May 25, four days before the release of the Penon report. Penon did not respond. Jed now says that he knew nothing more than what is in Exhibit 5. However, I don't think he is being accurate: he saw a list of results for many days. That is not in Exhibit 5.
That's true. Let me rephrase to be a little more accurate. The results from several days are summarized in Exhibit 5:
QuoteIn fact, from June 30, 2015 through July 27, 2015, the effective flowed water in the unit was, according to your daily valuation report for that period, 36,000 Kg/d on each and every day, without deviation.
Elsewhere it says the pressure was 0.0 bar, and the average temperature was 102.8ºC. What I meant was, that agrees with the data I saw. That is an accurate summary. But actually, it isn't just a summary: it is nearly a complete description, with as much information as there is in all of the data from June 30 to July 27. One line of data tells you nearly as much as every line from every day in that range would:
36,000 kg - 10%, 0.0 bar, 102.8ºC +/- ~2ºC
That's everything except the specific temperatures. You might call it lossless compression. To decompress, just write:
June 30 36,000 kg - 10%, 0.0 bar, 102.8ºC +/- ~2ºC
July 1 36,000 kg - 10%, 0.0 bar, 102.8ºC +/- ~2ºC
July 2 36,000 kg - 10%, 0.0 bar, 102.8ºC +/- ~2ºC
July 3 36,000 kg - 10%, 0.0 bar, 102.8ºC +/- ~2ºC . . .
That would not be the case for a data set with more variation. If the flow rate or pressure varied, then to evaluate the data or establish a trend, you would need to see all of individual values for all days. Having the same data for every day simplifies matters a great deal. I agree with Murray it is also impossible, and it shows the data is fraudulent.
So, mathematically, everything I knew about June through July was completely represented in the Exhibit 5 report. Plus there was other stuff about the tests I did not know. Now that you have read it, you know as much as I do.
