the army tests were controversial as far as I know -big money involved in the contract -not easy to say what is fact here -politics as you say

but again there are alot of conflicting information on this subject, some say it is lighter, some say it is heavier, which makes me think that there is more politics involved in the west then there are facts coming out... (sorry, do not mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, i am though, but anyway)
