A point of clarification if I might. The siloxane was never present in the reactor. It was the adhesive used to fix the ash particles, after removal from the reactor, so they could be analyzed for isotopic composition. The odd thing about the isotopic analysis: if you read the appendix you will note that the analyzers had a SEM with dozens of differently sized and shaped particles present, they chose three specific particles for analysis and got different results for each. That seems to introduce a bias that makes drawing conclusions problematic. If some of the other dozens of particles that were present had been analyzed as well would that have painted a different picture?
