Yes.halt all stirring because it interferes.also skeptics love to blame it.the slowed diffusion rates of ions or gases can work to our advantage in some cases

That is a good find.

Yes I was quite surprised myself. The book is " Electrochemistry, The Basics with examples" Christine lefrou.

The slower kinetics for the hydrogen couple on the carbon give it a wider curve, so rest potential is more negative  than that of the Pt. The upward part of the hydrogen couple is not shown on these plots, as they are for deaerated solution.

I think using silver as a cathode was done too early in the piece. Let's see what happens when  the cell is allowed to recharge in a few hours...

I think silver was not done too early in the piece pomodoro.I think silver was simply not given sufficient time for resting inbetween.the dual-platinum/O2 experiment wouldve set the record straight for this thread long ago.better late than never

As Pomodoro wraps up his experiments what you should really be thinking about is how you can state a hypothesis that they have tested that is relevant to your claims.   Then you can formulate an argument as to how the tests falsified, supported, or generated a null result against your claims.

Who said pomodoro is wrapping up experiments @mark E? We are just now getting it right..
