There have been numerous online pictures of removed bearings dumping this gunk with descriptions from the person who removed the bearing. They show this obviously compromised lubrication.
I don't recall any of the folks trying to introduce a replacement bearing describing any other phenomena. So look at the LN, Casper, Hartech and Pelical sites and see wht they say after probably looking at more samples than the average mechanic might see.

Has anyone actually reported finding any grease?
Yes, smelly, degraded oil..... ever smell gear oil during a change?
You should heat up grease and oil and mix it, and see what you get...
Sometimes the obvious isn't what it seems.
Yep.... your right the earth is flat, and we should believe what we are told because we are just average nobodies.
