Nickel, zirconium and oxygen are there in substantial atomic ratios

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.
