When is proof NOT proof?

...when you provide nothing that does anything to disprove a strong argument to the contrary.

Not with me?

Ok, here's the argument: CNC Machined versus Die-Cast (in relation to the emitter head of the MFX Sonic Screwdriver).

As you well know I have pointed out in the past that I have had a strong suspicion that the MFX emitter head was die cast in some way, either in entirety or partially and finished by machine. Now this idiot called Karsten has managed to prise himself away from Alastair Dewar's cock long enough to post the following pic (amongst others) to PROVE that the MFX sonics were machined:

Sorry dude, but a picture of a box of sonic heads proves nothing except that some guy with a bandaged hand possessed a box of sonic emitter heads.  

The sonics were made by Russ Brown, him of unlicenced classic sonic screwdriver replica fame. I have known this for some time as it explains quite a lot of why the MFX was so bad. It also catches Gorton in another lie, that being his claim that the sonics were made in-house at MFX.

However, moving swiftly on, this does not answer several observations:

• 
  
  Why the head differs in colour from the other hardware which we know for sure is CNC machined
• 
  
  Why metal in the head is corroding at a different rate from the other aluminium fittings
• 
  
  Why the machining marks are IDENTICAL on separate sonics. (These marks are like fingerprints - no two should be identical) as pointed out by a well respect RPFer. The machine marks are the old chestnut the MFX apologists always use but machine marks can be transferred from a die mould. Hell, most die moulds are machined anyway.
• 
  
  Why the diameter of the head differs. If it was fully machined, the head blank would be spun on a central point of rotation so the thing would be PERFECTLY circular from top to bottom. It isn't. It's close but still out by several hundreths of a mm. Enough to prove that it can't have been 100% machined.
• 
  
  Why a company in Buckinghamshire, near to MFX, that specialises in die casting and metal moulding, all but confirmed they were involved.

Russ Brown's involvement is probably the reason why MFX had the licence taken away. Gorton will never admit it and the truth will probably never be made public but I suspect a scenario where Rick McEwen or Ed Russell at BBC licence protection found out and went ape shit. You see, Russ Brown makes unlicenced classic sonics which infringes upon the licence of Sixteen 12. True or not? I don't know but it makes for pretty interesting reading don't you think?

Tell you what Karsten, if you want to prove the MFX head was CNC, post some pics of the actual production process from initial bar stock to final product. That'll do it.
