I took that statement as a point towards those seven pages in the other post. I believed he was saying that with the mob type mentality that was going on towards the end, that nothing at that time would have sufficed. I also can say I have seen that happen before. People get upset, start throwing words around, and then if you give them your facts, they say it's made up, or it's biased, you must have paid a lot of money for that study.
The so called "mob mentality" that this subject faces so often is a DIRECT result of the lack of information put out by the companies that market these products. Basically it comes down to claims being made that contradict scientific laws of chemistry and physics.............which is fine.......as long as you can PROVE them. When asked for proof none is ever given. Like I have said before.......you can stand up and say anything you want in the world of science..............but you better be able to prove it through the PROPER kinds of studies, just like everyone else has to. Like I said, I don't know if you are a scientist at your company or not, but if you are you know any and all claims are welcome in the world of science.........but when you can't prove them is when you get laughed off the stage.
No different then someone saying that gravity does not exist..........I am willing to bet you would want some pretty serious proof of that before you jumped from your treestand.
And yes I am a Chemist. Wheather I believe they work or not is irrelevant. And finally I still think that stuff with the fart and carbon can only hold so much was funny.
Good luck, Good hunting, and God Bless.
Oooops..........I should have read that first.........I have to ask why on earth would you not at least let people know that you can't regenerate activated carbon in a household dryer. I believe you are doing your fellow hunters a disservice by not sharing information you know, but many others do not. That has been a major rub for many people about these products.........the fact that they seem to prey on the fact that most hunters won't know their claims are false and won't ask for proof. This is perceived by many as an insult.........basically, the equivalent of saying "They are too stupid to know the truth". I can't even count how many guys I have seen on this board say "I have no idea how it works.........but I believe them"...........Taking advantage of ignorance is an ugly thing.
