An interesting article by Bob Flexner.  Talks about why finishing is so hard to understand (clue: names and directions are nonsense, to be kind)

    I loved reading that! Great stuff...shows the lunacy embedded in finish manufacturer/marketing.  Thank you (and thanks to Bob).

    It is always about the $$$, rarely is it about quality when dealing with big business.

    Well, when you do find someone concerned about quality, they tend to generate business...enough to where they get noticed by someone with $$$, who buys them out. But then the new owners find out that quality costs $$...so guess what gets cut?
