I meant to say IF this is a mistake . . . it must have been made by Levi et al.
It is too early to conclude this was a mistake at Lugano. It is possible their material has different emissivity. On the other hand, they sure did make a mistake not using a thermocouple. They used one in the first test. When I saw the thermocouple in the schematic for the second test, I assumed it was used. Dennis Cravens pointed out to me there is no mention of it in the report, and no numbers from it, so I guess they did not use it. Frankly, that is mind-boggling. - Jed
