Talk:Duraplast/Legends

Is there any source behind "The above hints that duraplast was not particularly easy to shape and form while forging."? Or is it just speculation? I think it is also possible that the "plast" part could refer to the difficulty in manipulating the substance after it has already been forged. A substance that is hard to manipulate would make good armor, no? Maybe it speaks to the quality and characteristics of duraplast after it has been forged. "Hard to manipulate" could be describing a positive quality of duraplast, which is why it is so widely used in the production of durable equipment. It says in the article itself that it was widely used by the Imperial and New Republic navies, do you really think it would be widely used if it was difficult to form/shape? It seems more likely the author just intended the word to be short for "durable plastic" (even though it is a metal) without considering the etymology of the word. Isn't unsourced speculation to be removed? 71.227.40.49 15:00, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
