All, this has be a facinating discussion to sit in on.  One question: I have

Even if those claims are totally true (which I doubt), the claimed

Ever see a tire wear out on the inside first ?

Next they'll be selling us special alloy hats (made of something
suspiciously similar to aluminum foil) to stop the cosmic rays from damaging
our brains.
