Originally posted by Wheatfield Do you know this for a fact or is it one of those "the sky is pink, I read it on the internet" things?
I read things on the Internet and I read things in books and sometimes I hear things on the television or radio. In all matters I use my best judgment, common sense and a good dose of logic to determine what to believe. If you tell me your definition of "fact" perhaps I can be more precise.
The claim that industrially machined air can have contaminants has not been empirically determined by myself since I do not have the time to spend on such things. However, it is a plausible truth unlike, say, astrology, psychoanalysis or capitalist economic theory. If you read the references I took the time to find, you will find many possible ways of sensor cleaning but not the one you advocate... in fact it is expressly mentioned as something one should not do.
The fact it has worked for you means that we have a sample size of one backing up that opinion. This does not inspire confidence in a high risk venture like sensor cleaning.
By the way, I have seen pink skies -- they are lovely.
