Have you not heard of Riordan metal. It is used to make rails superior to steel.

Riordan metal is for making buggy whips...

Build a maglev and we won't need no rusty Riordan rails.

Let us know when you can mass produce thousands of miles of iron free something for your mag-lve to run on.

So what does Palladium have to do with Avatar?

I haven’t seen the movie.

Neither have I, but the reason they went to that planet was to get UNOBTAINIUM a mineral that was only on that planet. It was a natural element that had reached PEAK UNOBTAINIUM levels.

So your reference is to a fake mineral in a fake movie, whereas my reference is to a real precious metal that sells for far more than gold. Whatever point you were trying to make is lost in that blurring problem you have with discerning between what is fake and what is real.
