For the life of me, I could have sworn there was a Q post in the early days on half chan that made a cryptic refernce to salt neutralizing something. I've searched the Qmaps PDFs I have locally and can't find it. But I did find this:
"Although only certain molten salts and halogens are corrosive to solid iridium, finely divided iridium dust is much more reactive and can be flammable."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium
Just putting it out there in case it is a metaphor for something pertinent to the Iridium satellite program and whatever fuckery is going on with SpaceX, NK, and our space program.
