Evidence from the paper

Both Tange's measured zero-pressure volume (162.373 Å3) and the typical measured value (162.5 Å3, see Figure 3) exceed our fitted value (162.12 ± 0.13 Å3) by about 2σ and 3σ, respectively ... The cold parameter offset is primarily caused by Tange's fixing of V0 to its measured value.
