This is why I asked for the equation of state.
For all his qualifications (M.Sc. Physics, Ph.D. Astronomy) Thomas
should realize the importance of an equation of state. If he had taken
a course in Physical Chemistry somewhere in his career we would
realize that.
In his haste to get an an answer at his website, has has
oversimplified his treatment of hydrogen.
Even his premise there, that the photosphere is "Cooled by Inelastic
Collisions", is flawed.
Inelastic collisions do not remove energy from a system; they
randomize thermal energy. Cooling occurs when energy is removed from
the system, usually by EM radiation, but a state change of a component
can also do the trick.
