Wayne was "substantially correct" that "...adding the Sky-Tex starter is a 1 way proposition" in the same economic sense that an aircraft is considered "totalled" beyond a certain economic level of repair. I, too believe in the purity of his intent.
Any aircraft can be "repaired" by elevating the data plate and replacing everything underneath. That which is considered "not repairable" in the strictly economic sense is likely Jay Schuman, who is an A&P, and the average coupe owner (that "reaches" financially to install the Sky-Tex in the first place). Jay's post I received at 14:12:46 CDT concurred with Wayne that undoing the conversion "...would not be economically feasible". There is a place for perfection in expression, primarily because when information leading to a wrong conclusion by readers is not supplemented with further information leading to the correct conclusion our "newbies" can be needlessly confused. All information sounds authoritative to those new to aviation or new to the coupe. In such a case, the added information serves a legitimate and worthwhile purpose. No one can say that your clarification here is not true (in the absolute sense). Because in this case Wayne conveyed the correct "impression" about the conversion, and others agreed with clarification, I'm not sure whether your "different argument" clarifies or confuses the original "point". It can be subjective, I'll be the first to admit.
