Let me retype my response. I get it, but those gear combinations could be done with current pitch (assuming manufacturers decide to make them). The benefit of 10mm is less weight (smaller diameter) for a given tooth count.

It appeared at first as though the claim was that 10mm would give you ratios not available with 1/2" pitch
