I haven't tried a lot of things that I know don't work so I don't need to try this one either.
I do apologize for my prior language.
It's a matter of Semantics I guess...
Lemon juice is used in a lot of cleaning products and is known to cut grease, oil and other residue. So, along those lines, it can be used to remove brake fluid, chain lube, etc. from a rotor just fine. I have no doubt that you know a thing or two about bikes, and you're obviously an intelligent person, but... just because someone has an idea or opinion other than your own does not make it inherently wrong. I guess it's a "don't knock it until you've tried it" thing. Have a great day.
