Do radical and ionic pathways of decomposition of arenediazonium ions in acidic methanol proceed via a common intermediate?

Abstract
In acidic methanol, arenediazonium ions de-compose either by a radical mechanism, forming ArH, or by an ionic mechanism to form ArOMe; in some cases the former pathway predominates under N2 and the latter under O2, but the rates are sufficiently similar to suggest that perhaps both proceed via a common intermediate.
