That was kind of a silly refutation of Mills. Hydrinos, if real,
result from occupation of previously unknown states below the ground
state. In other words, the "ground state" is not the ground state,
merely a plateau that is normally not punctured.
The scientific question is whether or not those "below ground" states
exist. I'm not convinced, but what do I know?
Indeed, what does anyone know? Not enough, I'd say, to rule out
completely the possibility of new and previously undiscovered
phenomena. Probably, by now, these phenomena would have to be rare,
or, at least, not normally produce grossly observable effects.... but ....
Sometimes nobody looked in places where nothing new was expected.

Ah..in short you reject the Hydrino hypothesis outright, since below ground
state orbitals are the very core of his theory.
