This is a good point. If all that transmutation occurred in such a homogeneous fashion it would be good evidence that BECs were forming. Once there's a BEC working around such a large soup of constituents, some very conventional physics get thrown out the window. Strangely enough, the weak nuclear force might be the driving motivator inside of a BEC, and Widom-Larson would be the winners.
