Those are the same data points shown in the other graph.

So, in other words, they are using the active wire at temperatures below
where the effect turns on, and this is their inert or blank calibration.

That's not a good method, in my opinion. They need to try a fully inert
wire made from another substance, calibrating through the full range of
temperatures that the active wire exposed to.
