Who has actually indicated they are upset by this? I'm a collector, and the composition of the dot doesn't signify.

Willful self-delusion is Man's primary survival trait. Believing in things that make him feel Life has intrinsic meaning is what keeps him going as a species.I am just a little surprised by the apparent unhappiness it causes in the Dunhill camp.
Unfortunately, I suspect that the "Dunhill camp" has no clue as to what's being discussed here. It seems that the major Dunhill collectors are big on pipe forums.I love your experiment and I am totally convinced. I am just a little surprised by the apparent unhappiness it causes in the Dunhill camp.
I think some of the sceptics display some veiled disappointment. I may be wrong, of course.
Thanks for posting that Beef...lots of great quotes there.Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has said it best, in his many quotes from the Sherlock Holmes Series:

When a fact appears to be opposed to a long train of deductions, it invariably proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation.
I had no idea that such individuals exist outside of stories.
while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty.
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.
It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles.
No, it doesn't. Anyone who has ever made dots from the two materials knows ivory requires an order of magnitude more labor---even if it was fashioned into rods beforehand by someone else (outsourced)---and that no one in his right mind in a commercial production environment would CHOOSE to use it when a literally-impossible-to-visually-tell-apart substitute was available.The sample size needs to be increased for reliability.
I think the naysayers have gotten to you, buddy.I just want to see more expensive pipes sacrificed for science
You need to start indicating when you are in absurdist-humor mode, then. You say so many absurd things when you're serious that people can no longer tell the difference.My joke was merely to suggest that it would fun to watch more of the expensive pipes get destroyed. And, I wasn't even remotely serious about that.

George is just indicating that he already has too many damn pipes to fix........... He doesn't need any more!!!!... :nana:No, it doesn't.
