In a recent report titled "Indications of anomalous heat energy production ina reactor device containing hydrogen loaded nickel powder" and published onarXiv, G. Levi and co-workers put forth several claims concerning theoperations and performance of the so-called E-Cat of inventor Andrea Rossi. Wenote first of all that the circumstances and people involved in the test makeit far from being an independent one. We examine the claims put forth by theauthors and note that in many cases they are not supported by the facts givenin the report. We present results from thermal calculations showing thatalternative explanations are possible were the authors seem to jump toconclusions fitting pre-conceived ideas. In general we find that much attentionis drawn to trivialities, while important pieces of information andinvestigation are lacking and seem not to have been conducted or considered. Wealso note that the proposed claims would require new physics in not only onebut several areas. Besides a cold-fusion like process without production of anyradiation also extreme new material properties would be needed to explain whatrather seems to be a problem of correct measurement. Therefore, it is clear tous that a truly independent and scientific investigation of the so called E-Catdevice, convincingly demonstrating an "anomalous heat energy production" hasnot been presented in the arXiv report and is thus, to-date, still lacking.
