10. "These [1905 chemical] weights differ from those hitherto accepted, and are generally lighter than those given in earlier textbooks. It is interesting to note that our counting endorses the earlier numbers... we must wait to see if later observations will endorse the last results of orthodox chemistry, or confirm ours." 1905 International Chemical Tables Occult Anu/18 Were They Crackpots or Charlatans?
