Dittos... and the higher the atmospheric pressure, the greater the 
difference of the density of the gas inside the envelope and outside of 
it on said air****p will work to generate increased lift, in much the 
same way that fish swim bladders make up only a small part of their 
overall volume, yet the huge difference in density between air and 
seawater brings them to neutral buoyancy.
Anyway, you are now trying to argue logic with a certifiable paranoid 
schizophrenic, which is inevitably a losing game.
This guy, not to put too fine of a point on it, is completely off of his 
little Venusian rocker.
He needs a lithium chew-bar around the size of a brick. :-D
