@Dave : yes, of course. Sorry if I wasn't clear: I was considering friction with the lowers disconnected from the damper/spring rods. In order for these to do anything, that's what would have to be overcome. It felt like more friction than these vibrations they claim are moving the fork would be able to overcome. This would purely be the bushings and wiper seals.
Whether that is a gap between "able to move the lowers" and "able to break damper/spring/etc seals", that's where I would suspect they come into play, if they do anything.
