Sure sounds like that (*)was written by an advertising guy and not a metallurgist.
I've used plenty of 'their' pads, which they purchase and repackage, and have enough experience, both of metallurgy, and using them, to know they are one and the same.
Any ham-fisted attack will scratch, not matter what you're using, and if you don't pre-soak rust in kerosene first, well, you get what you deserve.
* An alloy, proprietary or not, is not made of other 'alloys,(that's what we called 'sweepalloy) it's made with elements. Stainless Steel, by nature, is way down the brinell scale from carbon steel, but the more nickel, the harder.
