^^^ Oh absolutely!

But I guess most of the participants in this thread have taken the default stance that "grease" is what you use on bearings, not on the chain. For this reason my comment about viscous drag being very important was perhaps uninteresting for them - the topic is not what works on chains but what works on bearings.

That said, again, I'm 100% with you; the lubricant characteristics are always important, and there are many features to take into consideration.
