I just used methane as an example because it is in the table. The only reason I mentioned it is that a number of persons, right or wrong, has misinterpreted the values listed as being absolute. I do not know if they lacked the knowledge as to other conditions that could cause a difference in the value is the reason for their conclusion. What I was hoping by adding the text under the table would address the knowledge and understanding issue if that is the problem.
Look at the good side of these postings, maybe someone that did not understand this issue just received a little free education.
