Notably the percentage of palladium is tiny compared to oxygen. Nickel, zirconium and oxygen are there in substantial atomic ratios compared to palladium. Rossi and many others use no palladium.

Surely someone on Physics Today will pick up on this bit of apparent irrationality.

1. I doubt anyone at Physics Today knows enough about cold fusion to notice this. In fact, I doubt they have any idea that gas-loading cold fusion exists. I suppose there is some advantage to obscurity.

2. The term "irrational" does not fit here. This is a statement about experimental results. Results often seem strange or inexplicable, but nature cannot be "irrational." Perhaps Miles is wrong but if he is correct than I suppose it has to do with the differences between electrolysis and gas loading.
