Lots to say, but unfortunately I've got a full schedule today so I won't really be able to properly reply until I get time this evening.

I do agree that Rossi will need to be absent for proper scientific analysis but this is a business venture, and the tech is proprietary. Either he or a trusted associate would need to remain present to protect his interests.
To say that Rossi but absolutely be vacant whilst we operate and test his brainchild, is a bit like demanding that Uri Geller be vacant whilst we test his psychic powers. We can prove a psychic or inventor guilty of fraud even with their presence.

I did read somewhere however, that Rossi was not present for the power measurements. Which would be very significant, if true. Considering that the power measurement (particularly the electrical power going in) is the most critical factor here.
