Never mind the fact that there is not one stitch of verifiable test results posted for any of their claims, just DieselTech magazine saying "We're Now Believers in Archoil". This is real-world stuff, bro.
No need to be so harsh.
It's not hard to see why people find it so easy to think of additives as a "some is good, therefore more is better" kind of thing. It's straightforward and intuitive, and it allows you to think a lot of tantalizing thoughts about tweaking and improving stuff. Thinking of additives in terms of balance etc. is much harder, and pretty much boxes you into running whatever someone else (who knows better than you) thinks is right. This is one of those situations where, unfortunately, the better idea is the one that needs more justification for people to accept.
