1. The article is about low atomic numbers 2. The r process creates the super heavy elements in greater importance as the atomic number increases. 3. Fusion confinement is hard to achieve even with small nuclei, so if true the earth fusion reactor would be extraordinary. I would be interested to see experiments and more data (as the article calls for) TLDR: article is not principally about high atomic number elements and you might be splitting hairs over the areas it is not principally about. The article proposes new physics, which needs more evidence.
