My apologies, I guess I wasn't clear (long post) but, I turned
duplicate data on when using the bluetoothctl command (via the "scan"
submenu) and also used the flag, "hcitool lescan --duplicates", when
running the hcitool command. So both scans should have included any
duplicates (unless I've misunderstood something). Additionally, none
of the missing packets were duplicates (again, unless I'm
misunderstanding what "duplicates" means). each packet had a unique
sequence numbers as well as the button data field toggling.
