I’m starting to suspect these “platinum” blades don’t all contain platinum.

That one I could believe!
It better be platinum, or I've been living a lie.
Platinum spark plugs actually do have a small disc of platinum on the electrode.
The Real Deal
I don't get this anymore when it comes to credit cards. Gold costs more than platinum, yet Amex Gold has a lower fee and benefits than Amex Platinum.
Platinum used to be a more precious metal. I am sure why the positions switched would be interesting to read about.

So I passed the test!
sidetrack from Platinum to Palladium: My 1954 Hammond B3 Organ has pure palladium wires for the key contacts. Maybe I should pull out the palladium wires and make myself an Iron Man ARC reactor
Sidetrack to platinum group metals in the catalytic converter that was stolen from my wife's Prius. According to some random guy posting on the internet, these thefts are performed by "unscrupulous actors". Too many failed auditions, I suppose.
Not unscrupulous, I'm thinking.

I once had a client that made high technology switches. Palladium was necessary for the high performance but they were able to use a thin metallic strip of mostly a base metal with a palladium edge. I suspect that the platinum used in blades is so small by weight that the cost of the precious metal used is not significant.
