I think that Ben and Scott are scrutinizing him, and for good reason, he offers nothing but a theroetical suggestion and no real hard evidence that HI is being formed other than saying that if you mix the H from HCL and the I from KI you get HI, and why go on what he says alone when it is agreed amongst most that Argox's write up is the best and equally as simple, well not as simple as mix-boil-filter rinse and repeat, but at least you know that if you use Argox's write up for a guideline that it is backed up by many and is backed up by scientific patents and so forth, plus there is alot of information to use like how to test the purity of your HI in a simple fashion, and so on and so forth, phosphoric acid is just as easy to get in equal concentrations although I haven't found the elusive 75%, the 25% is very easy to get.
