What other choice is there. If it were silver oxide, that precipitates out within days, yet yellow CS will last for years. I have papers that give the absorption spectrum for silver particles of different sizes. This is a known fact, it is not conjecture. I have posted these curves to this group a couple of times already. Look it up in any colloidal chemistry book and you will find this to be the case with both gold and silver.
