 Don't wanna come off like a wise guy here John, BUT they pay engineers 
millions of dollars to design automobiles and some people persist in 
messing with them and goofing them up (all in the interest of improving 
them). There wouldn't BE wind savers on chromatics if there wasn't a 
reason. 'Some' bending can be done with technique, other than that, I 
wouldn't mess with it. Is the person putting out the info an authority 
on the subject?
