Yes, I've read similar things, so I don't think the striping can provide much info on dating the seafloor.
Do you think you and maybe others may like to try some issue mapping at TruthMapping.com? Charles and I are checking that out and similar things. Looks like a good tool for helping clarify theories and weak and strong arguments etc.
P.S.
I meant to say would you like to do that with Mathis' theories? I'd like to myself.
