I agree. LENR has had difficulty gaining traction within the science world and so the publications tend to come out in marginal places. My point, however, is that the Rossi's researchgate paper shows a familiarity with theory and a level of English writing skill that is above his usual abilities. I don't think he wrote it and I wonder how he acquired it.
I do not understand your point. Does not matter who wrote this non-peer reviewed pet theory.
Probably a tinfoil-hat, english mother-tongue wannabe pseudoscientist.
