But that's just my supposition. I could be wrong. However, I'm not wrong
about this: It is oil, and it is a lubricant. Once you strip away the

Jeeze. WD-40 is a light oil, in a significant amount of volatile
solvent. So, it can be useful if you want to apply a very thin
layer of light oil in a convenient manner. For those applications
it often works fairly well. For other applications it can be
quite useless.

It is NOT a substitute for all of the many different kinds
of lubricants.

Those are the facts.
