They don't?They do not "almost exactly match", Gamster! There are MAJOR differences between Fig.(14)'s trace amounts of zinc and chromium and no magnesium whatsoever vs. the paint chip's prominent spikes in all three of those elements (with its second spike of zinc nearly shooting off the chart).
How's about a little honesty from you for a change?![]()
Fig 14 from Harrit's paper. Notice they fail to label the the spike between Zn and Al as being Mg (I thought you said there was no magnesium present Capstone?). They also failed to label the spike before the first Ca as K. How can such a prominent scientific paper leave out such details? These "left out details" lead people like you to make statements such as "There was no magnesium present" when clearly there was.

Jones' slide showing what he says is paint.

What does each spectrum have in common below was taken from Oystein s 9 11 debates Steven Jones proves primer paint not thermite
- 0.28keV: both have a high peak for C
- 0.54keV: both have a high peak for O
- 0.71keV: both have a medium peak for Fe
- 1.02keV: both have a small to medium peak for Zn
- 1.25keV: both have a small peak for Mg
- 1.49keV: both have a medium peak for Al
- 1.74keV: both have a medium to high peak for Si
- 2.31keV: both have a small to medium peak for S
- 3.31keV: both have a small peak for K
- 3.69keV: both have a high peak; for sample a-d it is labelled "Ca", for the primer paint it is labled "C". I propose that one of the two lables is in error. Should be Ca in either place[4]
- 4.01keV: both have a small to medium peak for Ca
- 5.41keV: both have a small peak for Cr
- 5.95keV: both have a small peak for Cr
- 6.40keV: both have a high peak for Fe
- 7.06keV: both have a small peak for Fe
- 8.64keV: both have a small peak for Zn
Is the red layer from Fig. 14 below from Harrit's paper...

The same material shown below for samples a through d in Fig. 7 of Harrit's paper?

Yes or no?
