Should not be a debate when it is basic chemistry, or electro chemistry.
Beyond economical repair as I like to put it. On a few of them the corrosion had set in so bad that the pins on some of the ics just fell off as soon as I removed them from their sockets. I know of one person who has a b.sci degree and publicizes that electronic rust prevention for cars is hoax. So I can't agree that it comes down to basic chemistry unfortunately.
