Ah but to CONFIRM its therm*te, it should have been tested in an oxygen-free environment. I guess Jones doesnt know that adding air to it still
doesnt prove its therm*te. Once again, a flawed test which is at best inconclusive. Therm*te should be able to fire up in zero oxygen environment.
Then he'd have something. but he didnt. Of course blowing air on the sample with fire will make the flame hotter, but had he used zero-oxygen, he'd
have something. So still flawed. Even if he wanted to copy the other test by Tillotson, it still doesnt confirm therm*te because it was done in the
presence of oxygen. Logically, when you want to prove something that can be ignited in both oxygen and oxygen-free environments, you should test both.
He did not and therefor inconclusive.
Also finding oxygen in the sample doesnt really mean anything. What is being said is if it is therm*te, then it should be able to burn without oxygen
present. Jones didnt do it. So no proof.
