I remember that post. Most entertaining, and very descriptive!
I believe that was a home-brew chain lube thread.
But IMO, that example isn't relevant, as it's an example of wrongful application. Imagine comparing twirling a chopstick in a vat of molasses as compared to a spatula.
Your riding conditions are extreme, and call for above average preparation. What passes for most of us, will leave you stranded.
