the claim was for that.


Solvent?/ it does not dissolve rock, it erodes combined with
freezing, particle abrasion etc.

universal solvent is just hyperbole.

Golly, Alistair, look at the Grand Canyon. Almost all of it started

The claim isn't (or should be) that it's the most effective solvent
liter for liter. It's that as solvents go, it has done the most work
over time.


No BS.
