"opinions have been mixed"?? What thread is he reading?
Sometimes, people can read whatever they wish into almost anything if they try hard enough.
Perhaps the implied sarcasm when I said "It'll work" in a subject line was misconstued as a tacit approval. Apparantly the qualifier in the body of the post was either ignored or misinterperted.
As for "It'll work", well, you can dig a hole for a swimming pool with a teaspoon. It'll work, but you might not be happy with the results.
And, I can't give the technical reasons that arsenic can kill you. I just know that it does and, when asked if one should eat some, I'd just advise "no". No technical reason needed. If they still wish to try it, then have at it. I just hope they have an open bar and serve good food at the wake.
My final advice to OP: Use your own ears. Quit asking us, over and over again, to affirm your misguided belief. If you want "scientific proof", then the company is the place you should be bugging, not us.
Apparently you don't want to take our (and Energy's) advice. In that case, be a man, order them, and make your own decision.
If you like 'em, fine. If not, then send 'em back.
It's your life, ears, room and decision. Not ours.
