I'm not sure more what someone can do then supply many long term uoa's, video's before and after, and multiple mutiple different guys experience with different formulas that do alleviate tick. I'm not even sure if they had an engine that ticked and they "cured" it with the extra lubrication these formulas do seam to provide in the situations of ticking engines, that they would even awkowledge it. The science says it works, that is why they make these formulas in the first place. Only this place has been dumbed down so much, they forgot the science that made BITOG famous in the first place. Before BITOG I promise you nobody knew about grouping of oil bases or viewed the science behind additives. Now, this group basically says all of that info is hog wash. Nah, the group is hogwash, reform gentlemen or risk being irrelevant. Don't be so suprised the science of lubrication is the only salvation in many of these cases as the dealers wont help and you trusted them and now you have a ticking engine that has lost value, good luck trying to sell a ticking engine, the dealer only cares when it blows, and then they will dog you anyhow. The only other answer which is liely the best answer if figure out what is happening on a mechinecal level and fix it, but let's be honest not a lot of guys feel comfortable tearing down a modern engine. Once again, no downside to following the science and try things that science says can effect the extra frictional forces that take place in these spots of mechainical tick.
You write a lot about nothing. There simply is no facts to support your theory and you are unable understand this. It's not "Old School" about needing facts to prove something true it's called common sense.
Jeez, if I listen to you enough maybe I would doubt my own experience as I was the first to have the distinction of reporting ending his hemi tick with redline, a result that has been repeaded with nearly 50 random forum members since, maybe more since 2011. We stopped counting after 30 members a couple years back eventhough the testamonials keep coming. Over there it is just a fact, the best proven chance is this oil. It didn't work in every ticking hemi, but enough to know it is worth a shot. Funny most of them have the same thing happen, it takes from 500 to 1700 miles to have the best result, then the tick disapears. Which lends itself to be something other then viscosity going on. Over here it is easy to throw shade, try that over there, you will just get laughed out of the building. The worst part of this is the oil that was successful, if it was a different oil it would have been more accepted. Trust me the largest disapointment is there aren't more options, at least not ones we have found. Even other redline formulas have not been nearly as successful, it is literally 5w30 redline and not 10w30 or 5w20 in most cases. For the 6.4 same thing, it was 5w40 redline and not 0w40 or 10w40. Hopefully guys with tick find more answers, that is all I am interested in.
