Then you incorrectly summarize my response, I didn't say that something couldn't be better than anything else. I just pondered why the fuck you would try and state that there is such a thing as clear right and wrong without specifying the basis for the argument and then using such poor examples with too many variables. Then you end up telling me that information like I didn't know wtf was going on in the first place.
And if you hadn't yet figured it out, in the end opinions are like assholes. Everyone has them but some stink more then others. You have the right to your opinions as does everyone else. They are however meaningless like everyone elses, it just fun to compare them and then discuss.
I don't know what your saying about being singled out all the time because I am rather new to this crowd, I was just adding to the fun earlier. But usually when people feel singled out, its because they single themselves out somehow but they just think everyone else is responsible for it.

that's just it. I'm not stating opinions and this all started over sprockets. Aluminum vs Ti. I said basically, if a Ti sprocket costs 3x as much but lasts 4+x as long as an aluminum sprocket,it's a good deal. It all got side tracked by people trying to prove me wrong with various arguements. You are also nitpicking and micro-examing my statements in an attempt to prove me wrong. It was already 3 or 4 against 1,why join in?
Anyway,when I used oil to illustrate my point. It was because someone else stated that the sprocket question is like oil in that it's a matter of opinion which is better. I set the terms loosely because I foolishly believed that everyone already knows by what standards oil is judged. I didn't think I had to spell it out for anyone. Mobile 1 is a better oil than any normal oil. It holds it's viscosity longer,it bonds to metal parts better,it reduces friction better,it resists thermal breakdown better,etc this has been proven in several lab tests. The fact that it costs more does not negate it's superior performance nor will public opinion.
I used jackets for the same reason. I didn't specify what type of protection. Why should I have to? Regardless of whatever particular type of protection is being tested for,one jacket can be proven to offer more of it.
There are such things as "general truths". It is generally considered true the the Sun rises in the east but unless you are on the exact line of the Sun's travel accross the Earth,it actually rises either in the northeast or southeast. You can pick apart any statement if you want...
Oh well,as I stated before,I honestly dont care. I do find it interesting that you find it "fun" to gang up on one guy. I do tend to swim against the current as oposed to with it so in that way it can be argued that I isolate myself. In this case tho',I posted early and spent the rest of this time defending myself and my statement. When I am forced to take my pain meds,I sleep and wake up at odd hours and and I can't ride,as proven by my high-side last Fall. This gives me something to do,so for that,thanks.
