f after years of performing hundreds of tests on LENR reactors, it would only be logical to assume that the reactors used in the year long test produced *some* level of excess heat from nuclear processes . . .
Rossi is not logical. As Abd points out, he may not even be sane.
There may be a logical explanation. As I have pointed out, other researchers forgot how to make the cold fusion effect work. In some cases they ran out of active material and discovered they could not make more.
