well lets see now. They used mustard seed, cloves, and a few others
that I can not remember off hand so your #1. is rendered moot.

and your #2 is just some crap that you decided to say to make yourself
look clever but it is not because you are not. You have No IDEA what
the ratios are that would be a safe environment for germ elimination.
You should also note that botulism first occurred when someone
incorrectly tried to pickle/preserve potatoes. So you have no idea how
that happened or what ratios were or were not used. So my advise would
be quit talking out of your ass and when you have some facts then
please present them and then we can discuss how they are wrong as
well.
