Didn't intend to hurt anybody's feelings but it did stimulate discussions when there were absolutely none.

The work of Arrhenius I do remember from 1970 myself, and it has been a consideration over these decades, not only with the electronics but the chemicals professionally since then.

But I haven't stepped into a fab lab since the early 1970's, I know they've come a long way though.

I was wondering if much theory was involved or actual lifetimes have begun to be exceeded.

I do remember cars from before, during, and after the arrival of silicon semiconductors, and then chips myself. It did not appear to be a very ideal progression, nor as logical as it could have been. That just makes it more difficult to arrive at very accurate predictions.

Did I mention that the web page is not open to the general public?

Not that I actually expected anybody to read the article to me ;)

Having lots of comments are more informative regardless, and naturally sometimes more helpful than others.

So everybody wins.
