The idea that neon may have been to culprit arose because of studies of active cool stars by Drake & Tesla (2005). As this thesis did not match the observations, there is another culprit that must be identified and tested.
Pretty good science, IMHO.

Did I question the science?
You say a "slight discrepancy", is that your interpretation or is it from the articles I linked to? Because these articles are discussing a "controversy" and it needs to be resolved. If you look at the abundances and the error bars, you will notice they are not overlapping, so it's a real problem at least in the minds of the authors of the 2 articles I linked to. There is another article on the astro-ph database today telling us the same thing.
So, what's up?
Cheers.
