Suck it, haters.

Those are some rather substantial differences.

Regardless of the fact that you he's no way to measure or prove said durability or longevity.

I'd say that's at least enough to point things in the other direction, wouldn't you?

About time all the zealots get some facts.

Doesn’t change the fact that everything up tomthat test was just a bunch of hysterical belief perpetuated by internet myth and “knowledge”.

Just because the facts end up supporting ones belief doesn’t mean their belief was previously based in fact. Or knowledge. Or experience. Or anything else valid.

Not sour at all, I see... Your last four points though, those are ones that I suspect if you read around you'd see otherwise, should you so choose to take the blinders off.

If anyone can find a downloadable version of the actual CRANE presentation document, that would be awesome. I did a quick google and didn't find it, although given the subject matter, that doesn't mean it's not readily available.

I am a fan of original sources.

I've decided to nickname my 14.5" mid length "rob_s' spirit animal" in honor of this thread.

I forgot I had that upper until I reread this thread.

Suck it, haters.

Ha! I love it. I guess reducing force, frequency, and heat to prolong the life cycle of a mechanical system wasn't such a novel idea after all. The reliability bit was icing.

Thanks for posting!

Exactly, but it takes the likes of Crane to publish a study for the luddites and curmudgeons to acknowledge them. Elementary critical thinking skills and 10 minutes spent with a middy is what it took for most.

I wouldn't say that they have even aknowledged the results, based off their response.
