Not directly related to the article, but I find it weird that all advertisements always quantify their measurements with "up to" - In this case "up to 20% thickness reduction". If it is 20% in a majority of designs/uses, say so, or give it as an average of 15% or some such. I always feel "up to" means "best case, carefully controlled laboratory tests which has no application in the real world"
