Complete nonsense !

 

Helium has an enormous diffusion rate through Pyrex glass. Argon has almost 
none. Check the MIT site if you want a source.

 

Even if Argon could diffuse in, which it cannot – Grahams Law would mean the 
rate of diffusion was much higher for helium. You statement is complete naïve.

Apparently you do make it up… or else you do not understand Grahams Law at a 
very minimum.
