So I suggest you slightly switch topic here to define and debate about definition of "safe" while I follow more promising things than this thread.

I would love to see anywhere I have made comments like "OC is safe!!1!11 I'm doing it since months now!" This is cartoon reasoning based on emotion and exaggeration.

The fact is that user experience is very relevant. Ridiculing people and making up grammatical gaffes is not a good way to win an argument. It is probably true that OC reduces lifespan of a device, but if it reduces lifespan from ten years to five years is of no concern to most users.

I am absolutely delighted to read well-reasoned communications on any subject that interests me whether they agree with me or not. In fact, i find disagreement more interesting than agreement. But arguments that rely too much on "the people who disagree with me are idiots!!!!" are of little interest. And yes, those extra exclamation points are there to give you a taste of your own medicine.
