That is pointing to a file on your local hard disk so will not be viewable.

So what sort of engineer are you? Hopefully not the sort that believes something because they read it on the internet...

I have replaced discs that have been visibly warped, and ones that have been well outside their tolerance in terms of runout when measured using a DTI. I don't doubt that many problems are caused by pad deposits, but to suggest that genuinely warped discs either don't or rarely occur is simply incorrect. That said a lot of runout problems are caused by badly seated discs IME.

Decades of experience - at doing things wrong Reminds me of Frank Whittle (aged approx 21) telling all those water pump engineers that the formulae/calcs they'd be using for centuries were wrong.

Just because someone has experience doesn't necessarily make them right, but it might just makes them arrogant.
