This lack of calibration has rendered the experimental data worse than
useless. It has made a case for an alternative explanation that has not
been refuted. It certainly appears at this point that the lines in question
are due to nitrogen.

In the future, I would suggest not only that the calibration method and
spectra presented, but that the intensity is clearly indicated. This
experiment needs to be redone with the proper calibration indicated in the
paper as well as any other suggestions that have been put forward by the
'reviewers.'

If Dr. Mills ever is published, he will have to get used to this.
