  20. Video tape splices tend to flake at the joint, depositing oxide in the video
  21. heads, clogging them, sometimes to the point of replacement.
  22.  
  23. Viewing the splice area on the screen can cause the viewer to hide from all
  24. of the video noise that it creates, including Hi-Fi dropout and loss.
  25.  
  26. In other words, it AIN'T good for the heads.
