What is the contradiction? I didn't notice it!

The book made mention that the cabin was a reduced-pressure environment. It's possible the Hail Mary cabin was pure oxygen:https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/5690/why-is-the-breathing-atmosphere-of-the-iss-a-standard-atmosphere-at-1-atm-conta …
I mean, as the author you would kind of want to mention that pertinent fact though? (Maybe I missed it, but if so it was a minor aside, which is not good either). I guess it did come up in the "bead exchange" thing early on, I don't remember what that part said.

I guess I vaguely remember it being 1 oxygen and 26 ammonias, as opposed to multiple elements on each side, so, maybe that was the deal. Still seems like way too big a thing to elide like that.

The bead exchange is pretty good evidence! The atmosphere was at least majority-oxygen then. The reduced-pressure paragraph had some more detail, it's possible someone with sufficient knowledge of chemistry would come away from it knowing the atmosphere was pure oxygen.
