No- not amazing. You've just proved that it's perfectly safe if

Sorry, but that's not true... organochlorines aren't 'perfectly safe'
whether you follow the instructions on the tin or not :-/

Sorry, that's not true. PVC is an organochlorine and is
'perfectly safe' unless you start burning it.

Which organochlorines in which tins are you suggesting ain't
perfectly safe?

I'll get my chair ...


My tame biochemist is unable to think of any organochlorines that are
safe for mammals in large quantities.

'if you follow the instructions on the tin' was the original target,
not 'safe for mammals in large quantities'.
