"IF" (big if) *unusually high hydrogen output* from an RF electrolysis
cell can be demonstrated, then good evidence of what is happening to
account for the gain - whether it is Millsean/Holmlid or instead is
related to nuclear beta decay, can be as simple and foolproof as the
detection of anomalous argon.
FWIW, excess hydrogen output (relative to Faraday efficiency) has been
measured in plasma electrolysis cells in the early 2000s by Mizuno et
al., but they found it to be correlated with negative heat (endothermic
reaction). When excess heat was present, there was no excess hydrogen.
Furthermore, in their case the overall energetic efficiency was low due
to the high voltages required (hundreds of volts).
