Ah I see :-)

Gold is "soft" in the sense that you can stretch it a long way without it
breaking (the scientific word is ductile). I don't see how that relates to
how easily the gold plating is going to "come off" the metal core (which
it's chemically bonded to).

Ah OK then, well the differnce I mostly notice is that when people are shown
quite small on the screen (eg during a football match) on the SD you can't
make out any features on their face, but on the HD you can. And during the
news etc when there is one big face on the screen, you can make out way more
detail on the skin (not always a good thing!). And of course text is much
sharper. But as with lots of things like this, you get used to the HD as
being "normal" very quickly, until you see SD again!
