Stop picking at the details, the original statement was not necessarily 100% accurate, but was written to illustrate the same point that you are trying to make: HHO has a low energy return to consumption ratio, for this discussion it doesn't matter if it's 0.1:1 or .07:1.
Not all alternators are equal, some are 85% efficient, and I stated the ICE as 80% loss, and you at 70% so things balance out a little there.
