On teh other hand people like you I do take seriously and for sure how can you form any opinion if it is not suppoerted by a fact ?
Can you with 100% certainity, that you are willing to bet your life on predict how a pizza will taste, without ever smelling it, seeing it or God no ! Tasting it ?
When it comes to lubes no amount of past experience can make you predict or understand anything that you have not used.
Especially when the lubricant is NOT liquid, but a colloid - there is entire science "colloidal chemistry" that did not even exist when petroleum lubes were used on locomotives.
Tribology as a science did not even had a name before 1966.
No one could buy SynLube privately before 1985 as it was classified as a "strategic material" and you had to get clearance from Department of Defense to use it.
If you have never seen a drop of it, then you have no basis to make any comment on the product itself you can only express your expert opinion on OTHER CONVENTIONAL LUBES.
And that is my opinion and belief based on fact....
The plural of anecdote is not data.
Data data data.
Real, verifiable, trustworthy data.
