How in the world do you know it "was entirely true"? Because Rossi said so? Not that it matters but Rossi clearly implied that the ecat was substituted for the heating element in a sizable boiler and functioned the same as the replaced element. The real issue here is what happened to this wonder? Who saw it? Where did it go?
Like Rossi's fictional high efficiency thermoelectric converters which were fictionally tested at the very real University of New Hampshire where nobody seems to have ever documented or commented anything about it, Rossi's magical heater, far as we know, has never been seen, photographed, preserved, tested or properly documented. Yet you, Alan, believe it was real. Why am I not surprised at that?
MY - all Alan was saying is that it was 'entirely true' that it produced heat (which is not contested). He said nothing about it producing 'excess heat', stating also that 'it didn't heat very much'. In fact, Alan's comment on this fact subtly points out that Rossi commonly speaks 'truth', but in deceptive ways (in addition to frankly untrue statements).
