I think that that refusal indicates that you should think about another source. Suppose you have a sample lamp analysed and get the result 5 mg. How do you know that the next batch doesn't have 20 mg? Bearing responsibility for a manufacturing process that is not only not under your control but about which you are specifically denied information is a recipe for trouble. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
