I remember often reading that if you run a 'lyt at a voltage much reduced from its rating, the oxide layer would get thinner over time so that in the end, the effective rating of the capacitor was about what you had been running it at. This would seem to imply that purposely overrating a 'lyt is pretty pointless.
Any comments on this notion?
