*Not sure that the biggest brain on the planet really knows what
"sussed" means...

*I came across a reference to this just recently.  I believe it referred
to a case in which continuous stirring was not used.  Where continuous
stirring was used, they did not see an increase in the conductance
reading.

*No wonder CS making is a mystery to you.  This (current regulation) is
basic, and not really difficult to understand if explained correctly.
You have to be willing to listen though.
