Have you worked with hydrogen? Being less prone to leaving than He is an extremely low bar and very far away from the claim that it doesn’t ever diffuse through anything.

Diffusion works both ways, too. Oxygen outside of the membrane will also slowly diffuse into the hydrogen and helium mix, further complicating any attmpts to remain non-combustible.
Sure. And none of this prevents hydrogen from escaping.
That’s true, but it isn’t a claim I made.
No, but the post I replied to, and apparently you felt the urge to reply to my comment. But I now understand that you did not intend to contribute to the discussion, thanks for the clarification!
The comment you replied to was mine though…
I didn’t realize you were daniel-cussen - but it looks like you’re merely overwhelmed by how a forum works. That’s fine, but maybe dial down the smugness.
