So here is the deal: I'm gonna adress you only one question at the time. I won't proceed further until you'll give an unambiguos answer to that question. (I consider "I don't know" to be an acceptable and unambiguos answer)

First question:
Do you agree that any body having a temperature above 0° Kelvin is emitting photons, regardless of its chemical composition?
A simple YES or NO is enough as answer.
In and of itself? No. Based on heat transfers and energy exchanges with the outside world and universe, sure. That doesn't mean it will shoot my way, or not be blocked or absorbed by something else along the way, nor is there any guarantee I will have the technology to "see" every single photon. How about meeting me part way at least and acknolwedging that we can't yet see every kind of solar emmision (neutrinos) with any sort of precision. We certainly don't know what other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum might affect us that we know little or nothing about. What is that 22 year solar cycle all about?

The bottom line Baloo is that we can't just assume we are going to see each element represented equally. That is the assumption of any method that attempts to link the reception of some kinds of photons with the full composition of a solar body.
