On one of my earlier posts, I had indicated my skepticism. Toilet paper is
made up of tiny loosley interlocked fibers that could break off and like a
blood clot float around in your system. The fibers can become lodged in
areas such as bearing ports. The ports ahve microscopic burrs around the
edges that could catch and build up fibers eventually causing blockages.

Good analogy. Add aspirin to oil. Toilet paper is designed to break up
easily in water so it doesn't clog up plumbing. Consumer Reports did an
article on properties of this paper. Used clear plastic pipe to see how fast
paper disintegrated.
