WD-40 is **NOT** a lubricant, so don't expect
any help from it!

Somebody told you this and you believed him. But you and your informant are
incorrect. A lubricant is something that lubricates i.e. reduces the
friction between to separate sliding members.

If what you are trying to say is that WD40 is probably not the best choice
of lubricant in many cases I will agree with you.

It might not last as long as other products, it might not smell as nice as
other products, but it does in fact reduce friction, make slick and slippery
that which was not so before, so therefore it is a lubricant.

It has the advantage of being cheap and available almost everywhere. It is
easy to apply and seldom does harm when applied.
