Unfortunately, this sort of subjectiveness is the norm for all advertising.
I find it increasingly difficult to do any sort of objective product
evaluations based on the information provided by the manufacturers. Even if
the meaningful data is there, I burnout by the time I wade through all the
marketing BS. I don't know how they can write so much and say so little.

people have gotten lead poisoning from using a sounding lead? How many
lead
sounding weights have disintegrated from corrosion?

Are they simply playing upon the willingness of enviros to accept
unsupported fairy tales?
