Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.
A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:
Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

I read this differently from PeptideSynthNJ, on substance rather than tone. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.

No disagreement, though the timescale matters more than the mechanism here. Most of what looks like a difference in kind turns out to be a difference in how long somebody waited.
That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.
