I think they might have gotten it both half-right and half-wrong in focusing on oxygen 

"The reduction  of  the light  intensity to  nearly  zero  at  higher  voltages  cannot  be 
easily  explained  by  solid  state  electrolumines- 
cence. "

That part is right.

"If the origin of light is solid state electro- 
luminescence then  it  is  probable  that  the  light 
intensity is a monotonously increasing function 
of  current.  However,  the  Faradaic  current 
(as  estimated  from  an  oscilloscopic  trace)  is 
ca. five  times  higher  at  9 V  than  at  4 V, 
although the light intensity  itself  is  nearly  zero 
(Fig.  7). "

So far so good ---

"If  we  adopt  the  ad hoc hypothesis 
that  the  light  arises  from  a  chemiluminescent 
reaction  involving  oxygen  radicals,  there  are 
several alternative explanations"

OK while it is true that the hydroxl radical could be the key player, they are using sodium tartrate - and sodium is also the key to Mill's new reactor. However, there is reason to believe that potassium tartrate would do better in this situation - or perhaps a combination of Na and K.

At any rate- my take is that this is similar to Mizuno in that ZPE pumping of the epo field at 3.4 eV is the active pathway for any anomaly seen. 

In this case, the anomaly may only be in light emission, perhaps some transmutation. It is not unreasonable to suspect some LENR - especially Na-->Ca or 12C-->13C where the excess energy is minimal or nonexistent will happen but can it be documented?.

Nick - there is no doubt you can distinguish Na from Ca but the problem would be in keeping Calcium totally out of the experiment to begin with, since it is so ubiquitous and can leach from glass etc.
