This e-mail has been cryogenically treated


I’d like to announce that, for no additional charge, all of my e-mails will be cryogenically treated. You can’t prove otherwise.

Seriously though, when a manufacturer claims their product has been cryogenically treated how would we even know? At least with seafood we can run DNA analysis, and often we find out we are being ripped off.

How would we know this about cables, plugs, power connectors, etc? Has anyone ever even seen this being done? That’s actually a serious question. I have never actually seen this happening.

How would we even know if, for instance, they treated a batch in 1995 and no longer do?

Lots of things break while cryo treating.

I've never been a fan of cryo.  If you want nothing to change, cool it to cryo temps.  Physics has never provided a basis for it working on anything.  I've also been in several other hobbies where it is touted as a cure all.  Never seen a difference.

that said, I occasionally buy cryo treated stuff if there is no upcharge and it is otherwise a good product, such as ice age cables, a good quality low cost cable.

@fredrik222 As a physicist I may have some experience with Data.  one of the first things a scientist has to figure out is the difference between good data and bad data.  you would benefit from improvement of this skill but is is generally difficult for laypeople.
