How do you, choc milk and "anyone else with a brain" know this though? All anyone knows for sure is you swallow hdrol at a certain dose for a certain duration of time and you'll see an increase in strength and lean mass along with other obvious anabolic/androgenic effects. I don't think anyone knows if those effects are mediated by the parent molecule, OT, or some other active metabolite. All anyone has is conjecture. I understand that conjecture is fine, but people shouldn't go around posting it as if it's absolute fact. That's all I'm saying. IOW, don't accept all the message board dogma as fact. Often it isn't.
