No, I haven't seen any deception, or lying. I have seen some mistakes which I've seen others make before, and you have graciously admitted and corrected them.
I'd like to understand why you focused on magnesium. Was it because it was the highest out of the elements you sampled for? That is my best guess, but then I wondered why you didn't sample for silicon. That is another common mistake which the Mt. Shasta people made, along with not determining what ordinary levels would be and what influences variability of rain water chemical composition. By the way, they would have concluded that the aluminum levels you found were extraordinarily high. Everyone must have his own demon, I suppose. I've spent considerable time over the past few years familiarizing myself with rain testing, the pitfalls, etc. Hope that what I have learned can be shared. Others simply put out claims and never allow them to be discussed, and I appreciate your openness in doing so, actually.
Because it was higher than normal for this region.
