I agree with you. I think my post was more directed to the people that wanted more evidence than what was provided in the thread. The level of evidence provided in this thread is beyond the level of evidence you typically see online.

"My friend's great great grandfather's 1911 from WWI hasn't been cleaned since 1919, has had 534,867 rounds through it, half of which were his specially loaded Wadcutters and he's never had a malfunction!"

(Yes, the above was obviously made up, and a bit rhetorical to boot).

That's what's typically involved in an extraordinary claim online...and of course, all the proof we apparently need is his friend's word that it's true. The fact that we have a letter from the ammo company with the signature of the engineer who helped perform the test is strong evidence for the extraordinary claim made in the thread...far more than what we usually see online.
