Your understanding of physics? Are you a tape engineer? Are you
involved in the manufacturing process? Where did you gain this
understanding? Can you document that retentivity is more important?
Please produce some data to substantiate this.
While you're brushing up on your physics you might try consulting a
dictionary to improve your spelling. As for not providing "the mearest
(SIC) hint of information," this is simply a lie. I haven't refused
to put out anything. You have simply refused to accept any of the data
I put forth. The specs found on Google are put out by the
manufacturers and are no more or less relevant than any other data.
Furthermore, an opinion formed based on actual experience is at least
as worthy as your Googlespecs, most of which are for the same tape
anyway.

Septics? Does that mean I'm from the sewer or were you trying to spell
"skeptic?"
Regardless, your statements are simply not true. And you are
insulting. I have not failed to provide data; I have simply failed to
provide data that YOU accept. You don't have to challenge every
single thing I say and when you label everything as "marketing BS" I
would have to say that I am not the "septic"

No, we sand furniture with it.. What kind of absurd statement is that?
People have been measuring headwear with different tapes for years.
It has primarily to do with the fineness of the particles.
No I'll go find some data on that. You do the same. Yours will be
scientifically sound and mine will be marketing BS. See how this
works?

You'll notice that I have never said "you should buy EX because it's
better" and that's because I never have. It is generally understood
that the difference is the selection process. Sorry I don't have a
chart or graph on that.
No I grant you Sony could be lying through their teeth and just
laughing at all the suckers stupid enough to spend more $ on the same
tape.
As for Panasonic professional, there are intangibles also that you
refuse to acknowledge. They know well (as does Sony) that the
professional crowd is more critical. Make an inferior product and
you'll never see that customers business again. And they tell their
friends. While I don't trust the manufacturers completely I do see a
difference in the products and as I said, I've been doing this for 20
years.
Don't change what you're using. Don't blame others if they prefer
something else. Use whatever criteria you want but stop acting as if
you are the BE all END all soothsayer for what specifications are
worthy and what aren't.
