Thanks for the history lesson
I don't think anyone here is saying that you ought not try something new or continue to use it if it works. The real question being asked is "Why?! Why does it work better?"
I wouldn't hesitate to use your studs in a rebuild; in fact, I'm certain I would. At the same time a good engineer wants to know the why of it, and, if his (her) hypotheses don't match reality to figure out what he (she) has missed. The answer in this case *should* be knowable from a technical standpoint; there's no theoretical physics here- it's all well documented old stuff. Something's been missed is all; the facts are the facts and if we can't match hypothesis and reality the failing is our own and not with the immutable laws of nature!
Seriously, there has to be an explanation. To some, this is germain; to others, less so. I'd love to know, but I'm that way. At the same time if the bigger brains can't figure out the why I'll be happy with the 'what' of "These are currently the optimum choice if you need new studs."
