true.
BUT
i'll compare it to weight reduction in a car. think horsepower to weight ratio for a second. you might take out the spare tire and someone might say "you're not going to even see a difference"
but, if you take out the spare tire, rear board, rear carpet, headrests, tools, jack, etc... things start to add up.
using a true bypass pedal gets you one step closer to clarity, as well as a good cable, good wiring in your guitar, etc.
it's the collective that matters.
btw, i don't know if the vintage ones are true bypass. :/

Well, it doesnt answer the Rat question, but it sheds a little light on the true bypass argument.
