David sorry but you will have to do more than just try to claim in responses like this, that the word of experts is flawed.

It happens I wrote a standalone article that addresses your concern directly, since I've seen it expressed on so many occasions now, you are not alone in being under the wrong impression.

If you would like to comment to this, to say what is wrong, if you see anything wrong, please do, but please be aware I've also been involved in large scale manufacture, I am well versed on how to analyse sustainability of production, product lifecycles etc, as are folk in China, showing they know better than even the US, we only need to look at alibaba to see what they have achieved, and what is already possible.
