Stop what? I calculated the viscosity-index improver (VII) content and from that the viscosity and viscosity index (VI) of the base oil.
No, you didn't. You ran the numbers through a series of equations you made up -- equations with zero experimental validation and mostly negative feedback from the few real experts who deigned to comment -- and then you posted the results as though they were completely legit.
If you tried this in a professional or academic setting, any reputable company or institution would laugh you out of the room, and you know it.
There are bloody good reasons for that, and you know it.
So much of what you do here is valuable. So much of what you've posted in this thread and others is on-point and insightful. You can do better. You do it all the time. It's some of the most valuable content on the site. And then you do stuff like this, trying to claim a veneer of legitimacy for something you know hasn't earned it, and it undermines not only your credibility but the whole forum's. And again, you know it.
What you do here matters. You have a much higher standard to uphold than almost everyone else here has. You know how to uphold it. Please make the choice to do so.
Anytime I see his post start mentioning VII content, I stop reading and scroll on past it. I've tested his theory with a few oils that I know the exact VII concentration and it's way off (2% or greater) on all of them.
