i guess one train of thought is that the sealed o/x rings will remain lubed, and that anything out of a can is more of a corrosion preventative on the side plates? in that respect something a bit more sticky would be of a benefit.
i dunno- just a thought.

Sure. As many schools on the subject as there are riders.
My reasoning is that a O/X/Z-ring chain needs lubrication to
a) reduce friction between rollers and sprockets to lessen premature wear and overheating (which will fubar the sealed in grease in the chain)
b) keep the outside of the rubber rings in good condition
c) to fling off any stuck-on cra p from between the chain links
In the light of the above, anything relatively dry/thick that sticks on the chain too aggressively does not sound too good. More friction between chain links, more friction between chain & sprockets, more c rap sealed in between side plates & next to the O-rings.
