The odds that Sxplyer91, communicating from Hackensack NJ bears no connection to Silverstein, and immediately comments on a post, the first 2 times EVER under this bboard under that moniker, although plausible, are mind blowing staggering to say the least.
Nevertheless, I apologize for the insinuation otherwise. I agree, it would be a long stretch to accuse someone if they simply resided in the same State; especially with NJ and FL being the 1st and 8th most populous by square mile.
Now--let's get back to the real issue at hand. What negative comments did I make? Silverstein made comments on their website about tests I'd love to see, water penetration (and as a result warpage prevention) I don't see the chord, affixed to a largely water impenetrateable barrier, even if soaking wet, doing--any more than if it can would I suspect sticking wet paper towel under your ligature being any less effective if they were on to something. I'd like to hear how the chord help land a mars rover is relevant.
I am all about reserving judgment. But the notion that every product needs to be personally tested before claims that contradict science can be made are impractacle at the least. We rely on companies, at least in the States, like Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) and Consumer Reports to comment on safety, quality and value in part because we don't have the money to buy, or testing facilities to test all things on our own.
In order for me to test the Silverstein ligature for free I'd have to, according to their website be a Pro, (I'm not) "like" them on Facebook first (I have to preendorse them??) and meet their undisclosed preapproval requirements. If I buy it, can I return it?
So, instead I should believe that their ligature is amazing, but every professional isn't flocking to it? If it did all that was claimed, professionals would gobble them up I suspect, use them, and the company couldn't keep them on the shelves.
Sxplyer81: raises for me a good point. I need to copy this thread to Silverstein, in case they are unaware of it, and in fairness, give them opportunity to explain that they don't on their website.
Done...just now.
Let me tell where I think I've been unfair. There are probably other ligature manufacturers out there charging lots, and making claims that didn't get singled out here, and that's unfair to Silverstein.
