Name
Why was this moved without discussion? "Corrosive fluid generation" seems to be more precisely drawn from the novel. They say he "generates corrosive fluid" that's "like acid reflux". That's not the same as saying it is acid, and it's worth noting that not all corrosive substances are acids. The new name seems both speculative and "outranked" by the old name.--Hardvice (talk) 16:39, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
