Agreed, though as per the onus is on the people making the claims to produce the evidence for them. Evidence for hot fusion is well documented.
The sloppy nature of the 'evidence' provided alongside the lack of independence evident from a number of those involved in the single published 'third party' paper doesn't bode well.
I would be ecstatic if it were the case, it'd be an incredibly good thing for the world, however given the controversy could be over in a heartbeat but Rossi seems to have ensured that no equivocal testing has been done it has to be viewed with skepticism at a bare minimum.
The simplest of tricks could have been performed to achieve his results in at least some cases - wiring the power input so that 3kW is being drawn from an unmeasured earth wire while measuring neutral and live.
