Oh it's a fact I might be wrong. I'd love to be corrected and then be able to move forward with this low carb theory with more confidence. I just want the data.

Unfortunately P&V provide a web page of references, http://www.artandscienceoflowcarb.com/research/ and the paper I link to is described as "These keto-adapted athletes also demonstrated much higher peak fat oxidation rates than was thought possible" and none of their other papers hit on the subject. That paper is also referenced in their book.

With 100% of my interest I invite you to find a more direct, peer reviewed, source for the assertion about the relationship between resting ketones and RQ.

PS - If you look at their table 2 there is an understandable yet interesting point. The cyclists typically had their ketones go down in the first few minutes of exercise then they shot up. This implies that there is a sequence to fuel sources (as many have said) and low ketones COULD be as a result of mildly increased metabolism.
