Eric12407: if you don't have any credentials in the metallurgy field you can still have arguments regarding the metallurgy field. You're just not allowed to predent you have credentials that you don't have. Credentials without arguments are worthless. Arguments are what it is all about. If you have credentials to back your arguments up that's a nice extra, but credentials don't justify everything AND false credentials or unjustified use of credentials are an absolute no-go in debating.

So NO, that is not how it goes.

That said, Metal Man's experience with aluminum casting is interesting. For starters, we now know that this object is most probably not made in the kind of woking environment he is in, as he's never seen anything like that there. As the alloy is not the same as what he's been working with though (if I understood things correctly), it would be interesting to find out whether the alloy of the object would get a shape like the object in normal processes like the ones Metal Man is working with, or if it must have been formed otherwise (ie deliberately into the shape it is in)
