Since Rohloff hubs are famously durable when serviced with Rohloff oil, what's the point of the inquiry crg?

My conclusion was about copper corrosion due to phosphorus, based on SHC 626  being similar to Rohloff's oil.

Why my inquiry? A couple made a big deal about the analysis being incomplete and I wanted to explore. Now they don't want to explain.

Yes, and why did you want to explore, crg?

Crg, you have asked for advice. Advice here is free. It is also voluntary.

How would it make you happier if members here answered your question?

In simpler terms: So what?

When people claim info is incomplete and then don't explain, there are two possibilities.
First, they are simply posturing, without any basis.
Second, there are concealing important issues.

It helps me to rule out one of the two possibilities.

Any case, advice is voluntary. Why so much concern about my motivation? It is just what I said.
I don't own a Rohloff hub. Will probably buy one soon, hopefully.

In the meantime, I am learning and see what I can use in Shimano hubs.
