But in my opinion, they helped a hell a lot more than weeks and weeks of blabbing, handwaving, and empty speculation. For example, people here imagine that trapped air under the insulation might have a measurable effect on a thermocouple. That is nonsense. I knew it was nonsense. I have now demonstrated it is nonsense. There was a heck of a lot more trapped air with the foam pipe insulation I used than there would be with Rossi's black tape, but it still did not make any measurable difference. Frankly, I have no doubt Houkes is right and the rest of you do not know what you are talking about. - Jed
