It doesn't matter Bob#2 because sometimes there is some trap between English to french which catched me too
About general understanding you should avoid to think that things of world are put only at good or bad side.
From one side you consider Bob Higgins as the good then the bad about the dottore.
You have to know that Bob already before his IH deal worked on Rossi's ways.
Here i give you a gift, a resume i made from my earlier exchanges with him.
Yes, a misunderstanding... While I do not know Bob HIggins personally, it seems that he is a very knowledgeable and capable scientist. I certainly have no indication but that he is VERY upstanding and just the opposite of Rossi..... he is a true scientist, honest, educated, knowledgeable and seems to be very trustworthy.... all things Rossi is not!
So I apologize if my post was not worded well. I believe Mr. Higgins IS of good character and so much so, that if IH was as bad as some here infer, that Mr. Higgins would not have anything to do with them!
