We give Rossi too much credit in our assessment of his control and understanding of his reactor. He is just feeling his way along like the rest of us.
I'm sure that by now he can do mass spectrometry of his ashes any time he wants, so he should have a slightly clearer view. Maybe it's just a candle to help him navigate, while we are completely in the dark.
I still think it might be a selection artifact. The team selected a few milligrams of the powder, and then the analyzer selected ONE particle of the ash. There's probably a range of efficiencies in the particles as a whole. This particular one might have been hyper-active and burned up all its Ni. Others might not have "ignited" at all.
