   No, this is foolish economics.  What your argument shows is that other   
   sources of titanium are often cheaper, not that adding refining capacity is   
   impossible or unaffordable.   
      
   I repeat: if shortage of refining capacity for titanium in the US had   
   been the showstopper for an otherwise greatly superior material, that   
   capacity would have been added.  The laws of physics and chemistry don't   
   suddenly change at the US border.
