But wouldnt a term like "attrition" be more fitting for something like this?

Since a high metabolism just means you burn trough colarories better... so valfalk has a higher energy consumtion rate in general

i just cant direcly link that to the scales wich naturaly wear down due to the stress this "jet engine" is placing on them. In short: metabolism has little to do with the aging of the scales in my book, thats what confuses me :s
