You expected the article to teach you about stuff people get doctorate degrees for? You wanted them to go in to detail about where exactly the gallium is used in our military equipment?
Seems like all that info is far removed from the purpose of the article. Seems like you need to go read articles that talk about each individually.
No, I didn't expect any of that since I don't know anything about this subject. I would have to know that, from the article, that it was too complex to explain in an article.
I'm not sure why you thought I would expect that when I didn't even know if they were metals or minerals. I don't even know if metals can be minerals or vice-versa.
"These three things are needed to make this and this and this".
What's the issue, then?
The issue currently is you're being needlessly aggressive and other, more polite people have already offered fuller explanations.
But your "do your own research" outlook on the world is noted.
So is your "complain about things that aren't spoon fed to me" demeanor.
I guess only certain people are allowed to express their frustrations and I'm not part of your crowd.
