Evidence from the paper

For example, use of the ruby pressure scale throughout the experimental pressure range would have led to a K_T0 value as high as 259(4) GPa, slightly higher than for Mg-pv and hence drastically changing our conclusions.

Additional notes

note
hypothetical/alternative fit illustrating pressure-scale sensitivity; preferred fit uses neon pressure scale above 25 GPa
