Do i believe your tales? Mostly,but sure ain't experiencing it personally

There was doubt as to how much water, formed during combustion, got past rings into stock oil.
Fact is; it's a substantial amount. So much so that there is research on the acids formed from combustion byproducts dissolved in said water.

But lets say someone came up with a hypothetical high heat hydraulic like seal that never leaked anything to under the piston.
IF
I dissolve Boric Oxide in water and add it to the engine BELOW said seal.
THEN
How is the seal pertinent to the lubrication and surface protection abilities of BA on the other side of said seal..?
As for a completely clean, same as before, magnet on a sump plug:
Yes they are much cleaner once the engine is run in, but there's always a small amount of very fine particles on the sump plug magnets of an engine with std engine oil.
I looks like a grey/er layer with a sheen in sunlight.
I rebuilt my 1st engine at the age of 10 or 11, so no; I DO NOT consider a sump plug magnet that looks like a school experiment with iron filings normal wear.
(Makes me wonder what exactly your opinion of me is..? And, as respect is mutual; why you should expect mine of you to be any better..?)
