"Do you know for sure what he's measuring?"
No, not in the terms you're asking about. I've always assumed this to be an artifact similar to the "memory" that large caps exhibit. It's a little out of my field though, so I just take Steve's work at face value as demonstration of a non-linearity in the caps. Maybe "hysteresis" isn't the best terminology, but it seems to describe the phenomenon being portrayed in the tests.
