I'm all for folks exploring the unknown and seeing what's possible, but I prefer to be realistic about the potential benefit. The potential of this one is not so big, especially when compared against using "good" copper versus a lower conductivity alloy or aluminum.

Maybe so, but it's still an interesting topic, and folks are clearly interested in it. And to be honest, looking at the experimental data I dug up, it's not exactly that hard to do, 15 minutes in the oven at 140 C.
So the difference may not be huge, but it will make a slight difference, and with the level we've managed to get blocks down to now, it's gonna be that much harder to improve the C/W.
Plus it's intellectually stimulating tossing these ideas around. Isn't that what people do around here, toss ideas round.
