ZFC has a VERY bad habit of contaminating test data with speculation and assumptions, all of it extremely time consuming to sort out on account of the writers longwinded and convoluted writing style. Its not obvious what KMC chain he is referring to, but KMC have many different chains with various coatings or no coating at all. The cheapest X10s, that Ive been running for some time, looks completely uncoated and will rust in no time, if left wet and unlubed. They hot wax just fine.
