Oh, interesting. Thanks. There's probably a baseline level of purity that would matter, then. Like, no one in reality is likely to have the precursor hookup that Walt's operation with Madrigal/Lydia had. So while Oregon's research indicates that the consumers in Albuquerque were very much Crystal Blue Persuaded by the ultra-pure meth Walk was cooking, it'd probably be different for your average meth ring. Making pains to increase purity would only help stretch out batches UNTIL some baseline level of perceivable quality (from purity) is reached.
