Doesn't really make sense to me.  The platinum is a catalyst, which means
it doesn't get used up.  So having more platinum should not make it last
longer.  It might work better, but not necessarily last longer.  This is
all based on the little HS chemistry I remember from waaaay back when, so
I could be completely wrong.
