I would have to agree with the statements that you have made here.  Some 
subtances are so well tolerated by the body that they can be considered 
inert.  Silicone oil was considered to be an inert substance by many - but 
it doesn't look like it is.  Some forms of siliconized plastic are fairly 
well tolerated by the body I think.
