2) they're interested in 'SEVERE' conditions in which 'high-point' might be achieved, not in 'NORMAL' operation.
3) in 'NORMAL' operation, at least a nanolayer of oil would be separating metal surfaces, boundary lubrication would be at play, with zero metal-to metal contact.
4) the 75W-90 gear oil testing is not germane to 'engine oils', as transmissions, transaxles, transfer cases, rear axle/differentials etc., are not subjected to the same conditions as are experienced within internal combustion engines.
5) we'll have a discussion in the future about 'how it worked so well' for you.

1: Aren't we..?
Take a look at the top graph: see the fully formulated oil vs 5% BA + surfactant.
Also NB the Wear bar chart.
I'm posting similar graphs of wear too.
2: IF
no high points ever touched
THEN
Engines would never wear out.
Is that in fact what you are saying?
3: The 'Lasts For Ever Engine' in 2 again.
4: So you're saying it's 'The Bomb' in gearboxes and differentials?
Looking at the pitting comparison:
Does it look like other anti corrosion chemicals are necessary to you?
The why:
On the left is Iron when its just started rusting but is still shiny. ie: The factory finish.
On the right is BA attached to that oxide layer.
Air being air, what do you suppose the oxide layer on other metals looks like..?
Don't forget the 'pack of playing cards' BA above that ceramic layer filling in any asperities.
And keep in mind that should that chemically inert protective layer with 80% the hardness of diamond get scraped off;
it becomes BA again and re-reacts with the newly exposed surface in a self renewing cycle.
