   Yes,   
      
   There are a lot of fairly easy ways to remove some heat without cooling   
   too far. And it is much easier to accurately measure that heat that was   
   removed than averaging IR readings. Just add insulation and a cooling   
   fluid that could even be air. You can run it at any temperature needed   
   by adjusting coolant flow.   
      
   And you would have a device headed towards not only more accurate   
   measurements, but towards being "operational". I don't see Rossi doing this.   
      
   Accurate calorimetric readings are taken everywhere but by Rossi.
