Given the past history of how these mfgs protect their income, expect some high profile people to come in and tell everyone that pooling is normal and there has always been pooling. And back in the 80s everything pooled but if you play 10,000 games the pooling is not noticeable and the clear will flow back under the posts. Then they will berate anyone who questions why their nib has issues and all the minions will jump in and agree and wash out any comments that say otherwise.
