Dear Dr. Moonstone,
I certainly agree with your overriding theme that you can't trust anyone,
especially the U.S. Government. There is no shortage of examples in this
regard. You have combined a bunch of disparate and unrelated issues in one
post, so I won't comment on all of them. However, with regard to the long
range bombers in WW-II, I doubt that they tested any additives by asking two
women from LA to fly a bomber to Hamburg and back with all the oil drained
from the engines. ;-)
With regard to testing, I believe the onus is on the manufacturer to prove
his claims, not the other way around. My attitude is, if it's being hyped
like snake oil, it probably is snake oil (although real snake oil might
actually work better than Prolong.)
