The fallacy of all this age-claim stuff is that they test under known and/or current conditions. How 
can anyone project what the conditions will be as we get a couple of centuries out? What if a comet 
hits and toxifies the atmosphere? What if there's a nuclear or chemical conflagration? What man-made 
chemical compound is 1000 years old? So how does anyone know exactly what happens with a chemical 
compound centuries from now? I think it's dumb to even try and make claims of hundreds of years, but 
OK to say "reasonable testing conditions (spelled out in detail so as to withstand scientific 
scrutiny) tell us that this device and its component compounds should operate to current 
specifications for XX decades" with an outside cap of 100 years or so. And even then, all sorts of 
caveats should be included about potential atmospheric changes, ideal storage conditions and the 
possibility that they won't be possible within this timeframe, etc. I have no belief in any claims 
of semi-permanence for any complex technology-driven device or compound.
