In most cases there was no way to know ahead of time what was a control run, and what was an active run. Control runs consisted of tests with no electrolysis (which he could tell was a control), tests with hydrogen (which he assumed would produce no heat, but that wasn't a sure thing), and -- in most cases -- Pd-D tests that failed to produce heat (which no one could predict). In any case, as I said before, there is no way anyone can accidentally or purposefully leak into the cell just the right amount of helium to make it equal to plasma fusion helium. Any method would be hundreds to thousands of times too crude, producing random numbers. The amounts are far smaller than any instrument could introduce accurately. - Jed
