He explains the discrepancy. Three are excluded. One of the flasks broke so the helium could not be measured, and there were calorimetric problems with the other two, so they think the heat was an artifact. That leaves 18 which they were sure produced heat, and for which they were able to measure helium. Quoting Miles: "We completed 18 measurements of excess helium for experiments producing excess heat. These helium measurements were performed at three different laboratories: the University of Texas (References 14 and 15), Rockwell International (Reference 22), and the U.S. Bureau of Mines (References 24, 25, and 31)." - Jed
