Yes - of course - as long as you don't assume you will get the same result
on other clays.
The point is - when you know there can be problems - do you say something
or not?
Why would you suggest that knowing about your materials is not a good idea
when making functional ware?
The 2% is the answer to the question - "what would be a safe amount to use
in a glaze on any clay" - not a rule - an answer.
