Without a very careful process, how could you possibly know if it was the tuning or the hho? Without knowing how he measured the gains how do you know it is accurate?
What "careful tuning" are you referring to.

I think it is complete horse crap to hide behind "everyone else did it wrong" personally, You don't really know squat about it. What is the theory? How much will it improve mpg? What tunings are required and how have those variables been isolated?

If you can't say what the exact process is and how others should be able to repeat the experiment then I say you are full of crap when it comes to saying that everyone else did it wrong.
