Just being contrary? Not me. Do what you want if you want to go down a road
not too effective anyway. If you're using decoupling caps, or can, do it but
there are some good design rules from Lee Ritchey and others. If you want to
go to your board shop's material supplier, use smooth side facing out, with
specified oxiding and other relamination considerations, or rolled/annealed
copper facing preg. Either way expensive. Who's to say you are using
whatever for whatever purpose. Sue me for what?

Having said all this stuff, I still respect the patent having been issued
many years ago. When will this thing be obsolete?

Like resistive layers better though haven't been able to get CTR information
concerning its use.
