So it may not, but there may still be some undesirable effect or other. I just don't know.
I can't cite any scientific evidence on this either, but the idea of using antiseize for bearings just makes warning bells go off like crazy in my head.
Since wheel bearing grease is actually designed for wheel bearings, and almost everyone agrees (based on many many collective years of experience) that it's also good enough for most bicycle anti-seize purposes, this is by far the preferable compromise, IMHO.
