Today once again everything in the paper seems like an artifact from my boyhood: Victor Borge getting the Kennedy Center national-cultural-treasure award (I know it's churlish to begrudge a 90-year-old man his prize ... but Victor Borge?), the putative excitement over IMAX movies (it's Cinerama circa 1959 all over again), ur-suburboid Procter & Gamble products in the news (Cheer, Crest, Ivory, Tide, Jif), Keith Richards and Eric Clapton and Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde performing en masse on tour.
This inequality is almost certainly caused by the classic "washin-washout" artifact that has been described for gases with large blood/air partition (Kbair) coefficients [ 47 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ] . This artifact is created when, during inspiration, the high concentration gas dissolves in the tissues of the bronchial tree, and then, during expiration, moves back into the air, raising the end tidal concentration above the alveolar values.
Thus, if the artifact was symmetrical, the difference between the end tidal and arterial partial pressure during washout should be only about 1/5 of the difference during uptake (13% versus 55% difference).
Just when you thought it was safe to assume that we now know all we are ever likely to know about the past, someone digs another hole and unearths (literally or figuratively) some ancient artifact: one day it is a fragile scroll, found in a cave near the Dead Sea, that turns out to be pre-Biblical; the next day it is an entire terracotta army of Chinese soldiers: the next it is a skull, excavated from the Olduvai Gorge, that compels anthropologists (once again) to revise their guesses about the earliest stages of Homo sapiens sapiens vs hominids.
As the Times' subhead put it, "[t]he flat tax is the perfect artifact of our one-click era."
