While, it's expensive AND a bit pointless for some... I still think it do make a difference. Just like door stabilizer and rear window aero stabilizer... it make less 0.01cd and 1% chassis more rigidity. Improvements are improvements.

Don't have to agree with them. That's one of the reason why I haven't bought one yet.
No ichi "Movement is a movement" is not really an accurate statement. Walk a mile and then walk 100 and see if they are the same. I bet the solid bar has .1mm of flex in it no problem. To claim that something is absorbing that much movement is absurd. A hair width is .08mm so it is moving a tad more than a hair if that much (it says "or less"). You factor in all the other components that flex and this is probably closer to .00001% than 1%. At some point improvements just do not have enough effect to be called an improvement.
As Gram pointed out the guys that pay up for these will of course say there is an improvement due to "placebo effect" (technically called confirmation bias) since it was expensive and the theory is sound it MUST make a difference.
