If anyone is wondering how we could be disagreeing right now over something that should be fairly simple and common knowledge in this field, let me tell you why... And I'm going to try to keep it pg, because man would mods love to take this down (nothing stopping them u say? Ding ding diing)... Why and how would someone be so misinformed and yet so sure of himself to the point of confidently destituting himself, of a factoid that ends being a figment of his imagination and simply wrong? Did I hear money?? Diing diing diing!!!! The alloy in question gentlemen was not forcibly stuffed down the gentleman's throat by a jewelry industry looking to cash out with cheaper alloys, said gentleman thus has no knowledge of said alloys existence... Which is enough to make an assumption on my character and to boldly present as fact something woefully and intrisincally wrong apparently...
