The article indicates that a typical Sn/Pb profile peaks at 220degC. I don't
think anyone should be running Sn/Pb that hot. You don't need to be 40degC
above reflow to form a reliable solder joint. I think a Sn/Pb profile should
max at 205degC.

I wonder if the experimental results would change if he ran a cooler (and in
my opinion more appropriate) profile.
