No one? Well lomax did. You know, the guy who did such a good analysis. He
said it in this forum, on Feb 22:

> That is simply not true, again. They are not working close to detection
limits, what made you think that? They are, if I'm correct, three orders of
magnitude above detection limit. They are working around or sometimes below
ambient, a very different issue.

3 is plural right, so it's accurate to say "orders of magnitude".

Anyway, Miles claims orders of magnitude too. Remember, they eyeballed 3
peak sizes and assigned them at the detection limit (poorly known), and one
and two orders above the detection limit. I know, pretty sloppy. But there
you are.

So, why can't they zero in on the exact process?
