I spoke with Liaw at ICCF-2 Como 1991. The system had very great problems of corrosion.
Rule No. 6 of problem solving says: NOT the main desired positive effect, but those secondary negative and/or undesired effects decide in most cases if a solution is implemented. It seems corrosion was so severe that this way was abandoned..
