Compare hair to hair ... wood to wood...

The latter comparison is science.


Being close doesn't cut it.

Ok, that one was bad ...
Whiskers,
It is a model and a very good one. Mice are not men but they are models used to test this drug and that. Now in total respect for your point, the final proof would be the drug being testd on the human and in our enjoyable discussion the razor against the whisker.(not you, your whiskers Whisker Did you do that on purpose? Clever handle)
Let's say you have a really sharp knfe and you just finished puting a real good edge and wanted to test it. Cut the apple, cut the orange. Are you able to learn something about you edge? Did not the apple and the orange give you feedback to determine if your edge is good? Hair and cellulose are more similar than you think. In nature a buffalo's horn is basically hair fused together.I have turned horn on the lathe and turned wood, more similarities than difference IMHO. But maybe you are right and the model does not work, but you will have to do some work to make me understand.
