I don't understand. Are you implying it was rare to use fluorinated waxes? If so, then then what's the big deal with the ban?
No.
He's saying even if we had all been using fluoros at nordic racer levels (which we weren't) banning ski waxes but _not_ banning all those other compounds with *proven* environmental persistence and bioconcentration is just beating up on the little guy for appearances sake and zero real environmental impact.
