Can this be used to challenge Pomp's claim that the ash was faked by commercially available enriched isotopes?
Most people on this list seem to be very good about raising technical objections to criticisms of the calorimetry, but they counter Pomp's claim with non-technical arguments about how it would be irrational of Rossi to fake the ash.
