The papers by Miles might convince him, but evidently he has not read them.
I say that because he keeps making assertions that contradict those papers.
A person cannot be convinced by papers he has not read.

If the papers by Miles do not convince him then I would say the discussion
is closed. We have to agree to disagree. I have no other evidence to
present.

His most recent argument falls outside the bounds of conventional debate. I
find it impossible to parse. It is: "The IMRA laboratory may have had a
good opportunity to study helium, or they may not have. They may or may not
have done a study. So that proves Miles is wrong." Two unknowns magically
prove an assertion they have no connection to. Even if you knew the truth
value of both (which we do not) it would tell you nothing about the
conclusion.

I guess that is New Age reasoning.
