I could care less about the manufacturing process and how they got the tubes to that point (I happen to care, but the point is: that is not the consumer's responsibility). I'm the end-user, not the manufacturer.

Yes, many discount newer materials when they have not been utilized correctly and to their fullest potential, but "extremely narrowminded"? I think your pushing it. I am very interested in the future of Mg, but not throwing my $7g's at it. The Serotta Ottrott ST is on top now.
