I appreciate & respect Mizuno myself, and perhaps his new experiment will reveal something of real value moving forward, but to pin all your hopes on a single, non-replicated blown-out-of-proportion experiment, while at the same time dismissing over a dozen time-tested studies of the heat/helium correlation in PdD (some direct replications of others while others are merely similar) goes beyond willful ignorance in my opinion. This is just classic pseudoskeptical logic being interjected into an argument between "believers" in hopes of making a case for an ego-driven-theory (or theories) that has very little connection to experimental reality.The arguments against the Miles work is nothing new, has never been brought to task in a peer review, or even quasi-peer reviewed, and Jones is now just trying to save face (pointlessly so) because he made a mistake by trying to "blow the lid off" (just like Krivit) with this red-herring PPB vs. PPM distinction (as Jed & Mel have made abundantly clear). "Disbelievers" in heat/helium are welcome to that opinion, but it is a "faith-based" argument in terms of the actual probabilities/percentages.
