We are just being scientific I guess, and without all the scientific facts nobody is sticking their head out. There are claims to the science of the WW invention but it is an industrial secret. Concensus around the net says it helps. Some say it hurts, and some it does nothing. The boiling points claimed by the manufacturer sure are higher than antifreeze and muh higher than any water, but those are already too high. Who needs antifreeze on a bike anyway, coolant and something that doesn't boil easy yes.
My scientific question that I have found no answer yet is why wouldn't mercury be a good coolant. It sure doesn't boil easy, it can hold and transfer heat faster than water. It would expand beyond the practical use on a bike. It is toxic to leak. It is heavy, it is expensive, and it is harder to circulate. But in a laboratory, would it be an efficient coolant?

A number of different opinions and no one is threatening any else's physical well-being or questioned the historical lineage of someone's mother!
