The Hardest Naturally Occurring Substance on Earth

Yep - You all know from grammar school that is the diamond, which incidentally is what is used to make the stylus of our turntable cartridges.  If it is so hard, and it is going up against some fairly soft vinyl, why do we worry about poor quality LPs damaging the cartridge or stylus?  Sure, I understand the cantilever, but the actual Stylus?  The old phrase for me is "Does Not Compute".   What are your thoughts and insights?

Water, a relatively soft substance, carves out large structures and even large canyons from solid rock, a relatively hard substance. You know, like Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. Rivers, rainfall: erosion! 🤗

Start wearing a hat in the rain. It's obvious by your posts, your brain is eroding.
